The problem is that I always get wrong time stamp in my AVpacket even right after it gets initialized, the time stamp was always assigned to be 634 (seems to be the numerator of time base) and it does not change overtime. I have run this code on my another Ubuntu laptop, it doesn't have this issue for the printf.

The timestamp is not a long, so you're invoking undefined behaviour and the printed numbers are meaningless.  You want PRId64 for printing timestamps.
