Hm, there shouldn't be any black frames...

The problem with some of the mpeg2 files (this is Jeez from IRC  yes?)
is that the MPEG2 container PCR timestamps are completely frotzed.
They're running way too fast (about 400x faster than the actual file).
 When the PCR and codec timestamps don't match, crazy things happen,
like not being able to find frames.

Framerate being wrong is interesting though.  With MPEG2 getting the
actual framerate is always an adventre, because of all the
telecine/pulldown tricks that are coded into the container and
invisible without actually having a bunch of frames already
decoded....  and even then, you still have to guess as to native rate
based on timing, and if the timestamps are whacked....
