[FFmpeg-user] help time shifting frame time stamps for generated mpegts files

[Mark Essel]

update, it appears the time stamps of mpegts are not being read properly

all ouptuts, and command lines
https://gist.github.com/victusfate/5169087

the following works as intended:
ffmpeg -loglevel debug -i s2.ts -filter:v 'setpts=900000+PTS-STARTPTS'
-qscale 0 s2_shift.avi

ffmpeg -loglevel debug -i s2.ts -filter:v 'setpts=900000+PTS-STARTPTS'
-qscale 0 s2_shift.ts generates odd time stamps, 1.4 through 21.4
seconds

also Duration: 00:00:19.96, start: 1.400000, bitrate: 11990 kb/s is
incorrect for the source which has timestamps from 0-9.958333 (I'll
attach those on the end)


original mpegts source probed time stamps are 0-9.958333

yet early on in the command I see
  Duration: 00:00:19.96, start: 1.400000, bitrate: 11990 kb/s


[mpegts @ 0x7ffccc020c00] max_analyze_duration 5000000 reached at 5000000
Input #0, mpegts, from 's2_shift.ts':
