> The input stream (mpeg2ts) contains pts and dts information. These are OK,
> but after 26 hours running, the ffmpeg reaches the 2exp33 limitation, and
> the timestamp restart (33 bit rollover in MPEG). At this point the segmenter
> stopped working with the „non monotone timestamp„ error messages. When I
> restart the segmenter, everything works fine again – up to 26 hours-.
>
> My question is, how can I solve this situation in the code of the segmenter?

> The one thing that comes to mind is to have the segmenter watch for
> timestamp rollovers and then have it reset all the state of the segmenter
