Hi Carl, I really appreciate the response.

The output file plays/trancodes without any problems using ffplay or
ffmpeg.  I don't know much about the internals of ffmpeg, but is it
possible that the muxing process is reversing the issue?

In any case, can you advise on how to determine the frame display index of
a AVPacket?  I've tried:

A) the incremental order from the demuxer

B) using the pts value: int frame_num = (pkt.pts * av_q2d(in->streams
[videoStream]->time_base)) / (1 / frameRate);

C) coded_picture_number (after decoding to AVPicture)


When the transport stream contains MPEG-2 video codec, all of these methods
work equally well.  When it contains H.264 video codec, the pts and
incremental order from the demuxer are definitely not in picture display
order.  coded_picture_number is giving the closest result but it is wrong
on approx. every 150th frame (key frames?).

Thanks!
Jason
