I'm trying to find the correct PTS value for a H.264 video being

best_effort_timestamp function after calling avcodec_decode_video2,
but all I'm getting are very large negative values (i.e.
-9223372036854775808).  Has anyone had experience using
best_effort_timestamp or know of a way to find accurate PTS values?
The value you give looks like AV_NOPTS_VALUE. AFAIK, there are no timestamps
in elementary H.264 packets, and neither are there in UDP packets, so unless
you are using some higher format or protocol in between, you can not expect
to get timestamps at all.

Thank you for your reply -- what 'higher format' would you recommend I use for streaming then?
