Okay.  My files all come from the same source.  So if I check to see
if timebase = 1/framerate, and if it is, then I can use pts or 
best_effort_timestamp as the frame numbers (assuming stream.start_time
is zero).

Why would timebase be anything other than 1/framerate?  I thought timebase
was in fact defined as 1/framerate.  That's what avcodec.h says.
