[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] examples/transcoding: Fix time_base handling

The `dec_ctx->time_base` was incorrectly default set to 0/60, while 
`enc_ctx->time_base` was derived from `dec_ctx->framerate`. This 
mismatch could cause incorrect video duration in the output.

This patch aligns `enc_ctx->time_base` with `dec_ctx->time_base` to 
prevent rescaling issues and ensure correct video duration.
