[Libav-user] I'll ask in other words - how can I force input frame rate?

That's right, libav doesn't see timestamps, while my application does.
I'm already going that proposed way, by recalculating timestamps with
av_rescale_q().

Now I see that I also can store that separate timestamps in a queue and
retrieve them in the main cycle: while (! exit_signaled) { av_read_frame();
... av_interleaved_write_frame(); }

However, the avformat_find_stream_info() function also reads some data and
analyzes the stream basing on them.
I use the results of that analysis to fill the members of output
AVFormatContext/AVStream with avcodec_copy_context() and av_metadata_copy();

And I'm unable here to control timestamps, which avformat_find_stream_info()
consumes as it is completely opaque to my app.

Therefore I'd like to deliver to libav in the very beginning all the
information, my application possesses.
