Let me re-state the question as follows: I have a file that contains a
single video streams. The file is stored in location /path/to/file
(format "Y") and contains irregular timestamps. The video contains
B-frames. How does FFmpeg calculate the PTS (I don't care about DTS at
this point) of decoded images coming out of avcodec_decode_videoX()?
Quasi-code is acceptable to answer this exercise.
