Hi,

Your finding has fixed the issue in my case also. 
Thanks for posting. It would certainly help others who are facing similar issue.

Regards,
Rakesh

After digging through ffmpeg.c, I finally figured it out.  

My code was sending pictures into the encoder using a pts in the stream's
time_base of 1/90000 (e.g. 3003, 6006, 9009).  The solution was to first
rescale the AVFrame's pts from the stream's time_base to the codec time_base
to get a simple frame number (e.g. 1, 2, 3).

pic->pts = av_rescale_q(pic->pts, ost->time_base, enc->time_base);
avcodec_encode_video2(enc, &newpkt, pic, &got_packet_ptr);

Then when a packet is received from the encoder, you need to rescale pts and
dts back to the stream time_base.

newpkt.pts = av_rescale_q(newpkt.pts, enc->time_base, ost->time_base);
newpkt.dts = av_rescale_q(newpkt.dts, enc->time_base, ost->time_base);
av_interleaved_write_frame(out, &newpkt);

I guess not every codec requires this to be done, but libx264 does if you
want to encode CBR/ABR.
