Hey sorry for the complicated log. Following a simplified version of that:

Log is in format:
hr:mm:ss.ms (packet receive time from av_read_frame):: PTS :: <Timestamp in ms> (AVPacket)

12:26:50.878 :: PTS: 21904.921875
12:26:50.917 :: PTS: 21945.855469
12:26:50.960 :: PTS: 21986.033203
12:26:51.000 :: PTS: 22025.255859
12:26:51.040 :: PTS: 22069.566406
12:26:51.081 :: PTS: 22105.255859
12:26:51.122 :: PTS: 22145.322266
12:26:51.165 :: PTS: 22184.611328
12:26:51.204 :: PTS: 22225.812500
12:26:51.250 :: PTS: 22264.457031
….
12:26:53.306 :: PTS: 21924.312500
12:26:53.347 :: PTS: 21965.599609
12:26:53.352 :: PTS: 22004.466797
12:26:53.393 :: PTS: 22043.710938
12:26:53.427 :: PTS: 22084.667969
12:26:53.476 :: PTS: 22124.066406
12:26:53.507 :: PTS: 22164.800781
12:26:53.551 :: PTS: 22205.644531
12:26:53.593 :: PTS: 22244.023438
12:26:53.631 :: PTS: 22283.644531
12:26:53.668 :: PTS: 22324.710938
12:26:53.712 :: PTS: 22364.267578
12:26:53.751 :: PTS: 22404.044922
12:26:53.793 :: PTS: 22444.888672


Its a 25FPS video, so i should get 1 video frame to be displayed for 40 ms (25 frames for 40ms each = 1000ms = 1s ,so 25FPS ).  

My problem is :
I got frames:
12:26:50.878 :: PTS: 21904.921875 (this is a frame i got to be displayed at 21904.921875 ms)
12:26:50.917 :: PTS: 21945.855469 (this is a frame i got to be displayed at  21945.855469 ms)
approx 40 ms.. which is right. and similar for subsequent frames.

after around 3 seconds I got
12:26:53.306 :: PTS: 21924.312500  (this is a frame i got to be displayed at 21924.312500)
12:26:53.347 :: PTS: 21965.599609  (this is a frame i got to be displayed at 21965.599609)
approx 40 ms.. which is right. and similar for subsequent frames.

but my problem is i already had frames to be displayed in dat time block( 21904.921875 ms -  22264.457031ms ), which I already displayed and discarded. Now after 3 seconds i again started getting packets with PTS for the same time time block.

Thanks for your help.
