Hello Jake, PTS is a time when frame is presented to you, while DTS is a time when AVPacket is decoded into a frame so other AVFrames (P/B) can possibly be reconstructed using information from that AVFrame. PTS cannot be less then DTS, but it can be the same. Packets cannot be presented before they are decoded. Its possible that DTS has a negative value, which makes no difference in decoding. But its not clear, at least for me, what exactly are you hoping to achieve by validating if they are correct or not, is there a specific player issue that you are experiencing? Players usually handle invalid PTS information by creating them using framerate of the video. Attempting to do this by yourself can be very tricky especially when you do it for days or months. For example it can introduce audio sync issues. Kind regards, Strahinja
