 While experimenting with a CodeSonar plugin we develop, we noticed a
 potential bug in file "FFmpeg/libavformat/mux.c" line 735:

 if (s->internal->avoid_negative_ts_use_pts) {
     if (pkt->pts != AV_NOPTS_VALUE && pkt->pts < 0) {
         av_log(s, AV_LOG_WARNING, "failed to avoid negative "
          "pts %s in stream %d.\n"
          "Try -avoid_negative_ts 1 as a possible workaround.\n",
 /*Line 735*/  av_ts2str(pkt->dts),
          pkt->stream_index
         );
 }

 Shouldn't you access pkt->pts (instead of pkt->dts) as in the guard of the
 second if? Even the string message mentions "pts".

 How to reproduce:
 The issue has been detected directly at the source code level in the third
 party code of the chromium project that uses this code.
