[Libav-user] Is frame with PTS needed for every fps interval?

[Raymond Blum]

Hi
  I posted a question last week about this for an almost identical use case
(no responses).

I found that while I am encoding my frames with the appropriate PTS for
their absolute offset in time from the beginning of the stream, my player
(ffplay) still showed the video at the time_base rate.  My video was MPEG1
and I found references that only certain encodings would support variable
frame rate.  I also found an older thread where people were arguing that
VFR is or is not supported.
