Description

Latest nvenc version have support for b-pyramid type of encoding, with option -b_ref_mode middle. When using this option, default log level is full of the following type of messages:

[mpegts @ 0x55853b4aaa40] Invalid DTS: 698400 PTS: 696600 in output stream 0:0, replacing by guess
[mpegts @ 0x55853b4aaa40] Invalid DTS: 705600 PTS: 703800 in output stream 0:0, replacing by guess
[mpegts @ 0x55853b4aaa40] Invalid DTS: 712800 PTS: 711000 in output stream 0:0, replacing by guess
[mpegts @ 0x55853b4aaa40] Invalid DTS: 720000 PTS: 718200 in output stream 0:0, replacing by guess
[mpegts @ 0x55853b4aaa40] Invalid DTS: 727200 PTS: 725400 in output stream 0:0, replacing by guess
[mpegts @ 0x55853b4aaa40] Invalid DTS: 734400 PTS: 732600 in output stream 0:0, replacing by guess

which keep running all the time. They are also shown with -loglevel warning and they do not show with -loglevel error and below. Output transcoded video seems to be OK.

How to reproduce:

./ffmpeg-git -f mpegts -i input.ts -vcodec h264_nvenc -refs 4 -bf 3 -b_ref_mode middle -c:a copy -f mpegts -y /dev/null

Options -refs 4 -bf 3 are used in order to enable support for b_ref_mode middle - minimum values for it to work is -refs 3 -bf 2.

The ticket is opened because nvenc ffmpeg code or nvenc library from nvidia should either not produce bad timestamps that make ffmpeg report them or, since it doesn't affect output, ffmpeg should not report it so heavily.
