[Libav-user] creating a basic live transcoder

[Luis Felipe Domínguez Vega]

Found the best documentation about ffmpeg outside ffmpeg.

https://github.com/leandromoreira/ffmpeg-libav-tutorial#chapter-1---syncing-audio-and-video

There is well explained the PTS definition very very well. Used the 
calculations from that readme and set this:

```
         packet->pts = dvCodecCtx->time_base.den / 
av_q2d(dvCodecCtx->framerate) *  frameCounter++;

```

Now the input stream can restart, get wrong PTS, TS, whatever that dont 
broke my output stream timing.
