c->coded_frame->pts is a synthetic value produced by video encoder (usually
0, 1, 2, 3, etc). It may be good for constant frame rates, but sometimes
fails even then. And I believe that your case is related to variable frame
rate. I don't know for sure, but most hardware devices seem to produce
variable frame rate streams. My two web cameras do that at least.

You should use input_packet.dts (packet you read from input mpeg stream via
av_read_frame) and rescale it by input_stream->time_base and
output_stream->time_base:

pkt.pts = av_rescale_q(input_packet.pts, input_stream->time_base,
output_stream->time_base); // of course condition is not required

Why dts? Because it's more reliable than pts after decoding (I presume you
avcodec_decode_video on input packet to get raw video frame suitable for
encoding).

The above solution works for me on my web cameras, I hope it helps you.
