Hello Aman,

Thanks for the  patch. I noticed that in libav/utils.c:
 ret = avctx->codec->encode2(avctx, avpkt, frame, got_packet_ptr);
1325 <https://git.libav.org/?p=libav.git;a=blob;f=libavcodec/utils.c;h=bc1beee4626d339717d328c605b60bd564580447;hb=HEAD#l1325>     if (!ret) {

1328 <https://git.libav.org/?p=libav.git;a=blob;f=libavcodec/utils.c;h=bc1beee4626d339717d328c605b60bd564580447;hb=HEAD#l1328>                 if (avpkt->pts == AV_NOPTS_VALUE)
1329 <https://git.libav.org/?p=libav.git;a=blob;f=libavcodec/utils.c;h=bc1beee4626d339717d328c605b60bd564580447;hb=HEAD#l1329>                     avpkt->pts = frame->pts;
1330 <https://git.libav.org/?p=libav.git;a=blob;f=libavcodec/utils.c;h=bc1beee4626d339717d328c605b60bd564580447;hb=HEAD#l1330>                 if (!avpkt->duration)

1332 <https://git.libav.org/?p=libav.git;a=blob;f=libavcodec/utils.c;h=bc1beee4626d339717d328c605b60bd564580447;hb=HEAD#l1332>                                                               frame->nb_samples);
1333 <https://git.libav.org/?p=libav.git;a=blob;f=libavcodec/utils.c;h=bc1beee4626d339717d328c605b60bd564580447;hb=HEAD#l1333>             }
1334 <https://git.libav.org/?p=libav.git;a=blob;f=libavcodec/utils.c;h=bc1beee4626d339717d328c605b60bd564580447;hb=HEAD#l1334>             avpkt->dts = avpkt->pts;
1335 <https://git.libav.org/?p=libav.git;a=blob;f=libavcodec/utils.c;h=bc1beee4626d339717d328c605b60bd564580447;hb=HEAD#l1335>         } else {
1336 <https://git.libav.org/?p=libav.git;a=blob;f=libavcodec/utils.c;h=bc1beee4626d339717d328c605b60bd564580447;hb=HEAD#l1336>             avpkt->size = 0;
1337 <https://git.libav.org/?p=libav.git;a=blob;f=libavcodec/utils.c;h=bc1beee4626d339717d328c605b60bd564580447;hb=HEAD#l1337>         }

Which is different than ffmpeg’s libavcodec/utils.c ….


Last but not least I  get a bunch or warnings in ffmpeg when I run it 
with your patch.

./ffmpeg_g  -f v4l2 -input_format yuv420p -framerate 25 -video_size 640x480 -i /dev/video0 a.h264

DTS 140462612887087, next:1760000 st:0 invalid dropping
PTS 140462612887087, next:1760000 invalid dropping st:0

….



Thanks again!
Amancio
