Sven,
Thanks for your rapid response, This makes sense. I am going to be
trying out a few things with encoding pictures into h264 format. So in
my case I dont cut frames at all. So I assume that the calculation of
my pts and dts would be something like frameNR*40*90 like in your
case?
Thanks
Gautam
