[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] examples/transcoding: Fix time_base handling

[Jack Lau]

From: Jack Lau <jacklau1222gm at gmail.com>

The `dec_ctx->time_base` was incorrectly default set by avcodec_open2(), while `enc_ctx->time_base` was derived from `dec_ctx->framerate`. This mismatch could cause incorrect video duration in the output.

This patch corrects the issue by adjusting the `enc_ctx->time_base` calculation to account for `ticks_per_frame`, ensuring that the time base is consistent between the decoder and encoder contexts.
