These should now work in git using -demuxer lavf (don't use
-nocorrect-pts). The libavformat demuxer seems to now generate valid pts
values that can be used for accurate timing. At least the sample
mentioned above (premiere-paff.ts) works for me. Please report any
remaining issues with the current git code.

My recent VDPAU driver improvements also show a nice 50% performance
increase on that sample when using hardware decoding together with the
heaviest deinterlace mode (probably mostly due to better handling of
frame buffering). On my 9500 GT svn code has trouble keeping up with
deint=4 and video lags significantly with -speed=1.05; current git code
works ok with -speed=1.5. When testing note that lavf needs "-aid 3" to
produce any audio on that file.
