Hello!

I tried to use AVSEEK_FLAG_ANY for the av_seek_frame() parameter, so that it does not only seek to keyframes, but it still gives important gaps.
As for the DTS, in the movie I read, they are equal to the PTS (for any of the ~10 seeking I did). These results concern the MPEG4v2 video.
I'm going to investigate further with other codecs but I wanted to tell these points.
