[FFmpeg-user] hevc_nvenc pts < dts error on some time_bases

[Louis Letourneau]

Using
ffmpeg version 7.0.2 Copyright (c) 2000-2024 the FFmpeg developers

I keep getting this error:
[mp4 @ 0x60f656ba95c0] pts (1000) < dts (1997) in stream 0

If in my C++ code I try to encode images in timebase 1/60000, framerate
60000/1001 or 60000/1000

I modified the doc/examples/mux.c to force hevc_nvenc and timebases (patch
attached)

If I use 1/60 timbase and 60/1 frame_rate, it all works fine.

ffmpeg command line seems to be able to do it at 59.94 with -vf fps or
forcing with -r

Using libx264 or libx265 works fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Louis
