This is the right choice. Also, please note that:

     * Code outside libavcodec should access this field using:
     * av_frame_get_best_effort_timestamp(frame)

It should not, as libavutil splits the format-level packets into frame
(provided it has a parser). But the frame you get from
avcodec_decode_video42() is not necessarily the one encoded by the packet
you just gave it, so the PTS do
not match.

You should start by trimming your code to the bare minimum exhibiting the
bad behaviour. Your current code is quite long, and seems to have
accumulated some dead code (I see video_outbuf allocated but never used).
Reviewing it in this state would be tiring and not very productive effort.
