if you move the input ts offset to the demuxer than ffmpeg will
remove the offset without copyts. (now this is likely just a bug
waiting for a bug report then its designed in)
also you have to undo the offseting when seeking, and also do something
about any other place where timestamps occur like chapters, start_time,
first_dts, ...
(yet keep the code working inside libavformat that uses
start_time, first_dts, ... and expects it to be the actual times)
