[Libav-user] Packet containing different content than expected when using DV container

[Bruce Wheaton]

It's sounds a bit like you're seeing multi-threaded decoding, in which each decode call gets back a frame that was previously passed in as a packet, and was decoded on another thread. 

The returned frame should have an associated PTS, so it's not a problem. 

Set the number of threads to 1 in your codec context and see if it changes.
