There are cases in AV1 bitstreams where information about a frame is sent multiple times. For example, first to be decoded, and subsequently to be displayed. In the case of a frame being decoded but not displayed, it is desired to assign a valid DTS but without need for a PTS. However, the MPEG2-TS specification prevents a DTS from being transmitted without a PTS. Hence, a PTS is always assigned for AV1 access units and its value is not relevant for frames being decoded but not displayed.
