Try removing "head" from the pipeline.

I probably shouldn't have included "head" in the command example, just
happened to be what I was doing while testing to try to see what was going 
on.

Even with the "head", notice all the pts_time values are the same, which 
(at least to me) indicates something isn't quite right.

Also, try testing with the .m2ts example and use the "-show_streams"
option (instead of -show_frames).   This is where you can see this error:
