To change the frame rate, you must first decode the video frames as you
receive them.  Don¹t throw away
The AVPacket before decoding to an AVFrame.  After decoding, you can throw
away every other frame
Or whatever you decide based on your frame rate.  You don¹t need the dts
after decoding.  Don¹t
Change the pts because it¹s the presentation timestamp and you want to
display the frame in the
Same place in the timeline, only fewer frames.
