In this case, the input video is of dynamic frame rate and we don't want to
duplicate or drop frames, but the output video duration calculated by DTS is
incorrect, I solved it by using PTS.
There are many UGC videos with dynamic frame rates, which are represented by
PTS jumps. After transcoding with ffmpeg -vsync 0 or -vsync 2, the output
video duration becomes longer.By reading the code of x264/encoder/encoder.c,
I found that in order to predict the B frame, x264 needs to ensure that there
are enough reference frames when DTS = 0, so the DTS of these reference frames
will subtract the cache time. However, the cache time includes the part of PTS
jumps, which results in the abnormal small DTS.

Do you have access to a stream analyser to verify the output file with your patch?

Of course I did,and I can give you the bad case videos for your analysis if you need. 
How can I give them to you?

I think you can open a ticket in trac (https://trac.ffmpeg.org/) and
upload/attached the sample to the ticket

I don’t have access to a stream analyser so it won’t necessarily help (me) to provide the samples but you could mention in the commit message how you tested your patch.

Please find out what top-posting means and avoid it here, Carl Eugen

FWIW, I would like to have a closer look at this patch when I get time 
(within a couple days), so a detailed explanation (including samples) on 
how to reproduce the problematic behaviour you're seeing would be 
appreciated.

Did you post any reproduction case of what, exactly (which field in which 
box), you think is wrong?

Right now, this patch, among other things, breaks the implied last 
duration of the last packet in a fragment.

This can be reproduced by with the lavf-movenc test, like this:
$ make libavformat/tests/movenc
$ libavformat/tests/movenc -w

Then inspect vfr-noduration.mp4 (with a suitable tool, e.g. L-SMASH's 
boxdumper). Previously, the last packet in each fragment got an 
inferred/guessed duration (if the duration field of the AVFrame was zero) 
based on earlier frame intervals, but with your patch it is zero.

I'm fairly convinced that most of the changes in your patch shouldn't be 
made, but to make the discussion proceed you need to _exactly_ specify 
what you think is wrong, in a way that others can reproduce.

I opened a ticket in https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/8420
 my patch may be not absolutely right, but this problem should get your attention, thank you

I sent a patch that doesn't mess up all the details in the fragmentation, 
but only changes the calculation of duration for the relevant boxes.
