I don't really have any guarantee but the mp4 spec does state
"media_time is an integer containing the starting time within the
media of this edit segment (in media time scale units, in composition
time)" so I guess media_time should always by relative to media
timescale.

Proper framerate should be in the DASH MPD I think. However when not
in streaming situation, but only trying to play the actual mp4 files
being streamed, this is a way to get the samples duration (and by the
way these files comes from youtube).
