Formerly, I'd get things like 1/25 in frame_rate/frame_rate_base.
Now, with the same files, I get things like 1/2 in time_base.  I'm
surely doing something wrong, but what?

Not (necessarily) using libavformat.

OK, I'll try to rephrase it.  Where does libavcodec get the values it
puts in AVFrame.pts?  If the demuxer supplies a pts with a frame, I'd
like that pts to appear in the corresponding AVFrame.  How do I tell
libavcodec about the pts of the encoded frames I'm feeding it?
