[x264-devel] What exactly are monotonic points?

[Philip Muzzall]

I've been using Fraps to record some game footage in Lossless RGB mode.
When I go to encode it I get these warnings:

x264 [warning]: non-strictly-monotonic pts at frame 1 (0 <= 0)
> x264 [warning]: non-strictly-monotonic pts at frame 2 (0 <= 1)
> x264 [warning]: non-strictly-monotonic pts at frame 3 (0 <= 2)
> x264 [warning]: too many nonmonotonic pts warnings, suppressing further
> ones

>From what I can tell they don't negatively effect the output, but I'm
curious as to what exactly these errors are referring to and what kind of
effect they have or can have on footage.
