The blackdetect filter sets "lavfi.black_start" in your AVFrame.metadata 
to a time string using AVFrame.pts and the time base (when it detects 
the start of a black sequence). When the black frames end, it sets 
"lavfi.black_end" in AVFrame.metadata, again using pts and time base.

You'll have to check each frame's metadata (AVDictionary*) and compute 
the duration yourself.
