-    global_time_base_nom and global_time_base_denom MUST NOT be 0

+convert_ts
+    To switch from 2 different timebases, the following calculation is
+    defined:
 
-global_timestamp
-    timestamp in global_time_base units
-    when a global_timestamp is encountered the last_pts of all
-    streams is set to the following:
-
-    ln       = global_time_base_nom*time_base_denom
-    sn       = global_timestamp
-    d1       = global_time_base_denom
-    d2       = time_base_nom
-    last_pts = (ln/d1*sn + ln%d1*sn/d1)/d2
+    ln        = from_time_base_nom*to_time_base_denom
+    sn        = from_timestamp
+    d1        = from_time_base_denom
+    d2        = to_time_base_nom
+    timestamp = (ln/d1*sn + ln%d1*sn/d1)/d2
     Note: this calculation MUST be done with unsigned 64 bit integers, and
     is equivalent to (ln*sn)/(d1*d2) but this would require a 96bit integer
