Comment:

 It's not unusual for first packet dts to be non-zero in a variety of
 formats.

 you can use AVStream.first_dts as an offset which in the case of the
 mpeg2.mov is also -1.

 So in this case if your desired seekTime is zero (not accounting for
 time_base here) it would be seekTime + AVStream.first_dts and result is
 -1.

 As long as the first_dts is consistent with the packet dts then all is
 good. The first_dts of the stream must always represent the first packet
 dts.

 It would be a mistake to make some modification to packet dts without
 taking into account the first_dts.

 I have no problem with seeking to zero (dead on) on above file and DO take
 in account the first_dts.
