Just as reminder: you only have to handle the extra pitfalls of PAFF
encoded h264: the stream timebase is e.g. 1/25 even if there are 50
fields with PAFF, and there are 50 access units to mux. Either the
bottom fields get same pts/dts as the top fields or +1/2 frame duration
- in that case it is harder to write the muxer.
As far as I know, the two fields of a PAFF-coded frame don't need to be
consecutive in the stream, and can be mixed with other frames - so its
hard to compute PTS/DTS for a bottom field. Using the values from
av_interleaved_write_frame() or AVPacket the bottom field will get the
same PTS/DTS as the topfield.
