You do not appear to be restricting this to one specific codec, or even codecs
with B-frames.

I am aware of the intend, however...

The difference between filling those fields in and this patch, is that we can
read those values directly, generally. This is a guess; a heuristic. A heuristic
based on the GOP structure of a single codec. Where we guess where a GOP even
starts. Nor does it seem to take into account non-friendly files, with oddly
ordered and/or invalid timestamps (which it can't, based solely on PTS).

I'm pretty tired of hitting insane edge cases in other types of files due to
hacks added for some other specific set of file, but used for *everything*.
This is a recurring theme in FFmpeg, so I'm trying to fight hard to keep
more out...
