I studied the VUI in the h265 spec, appendix E and have been studying 
the x265 code from your suggested starting point, 
setVuiParametersPresentFlag().  It looks like most fields are set to 
spec defaults.  Some look like values that can be options specified by 
the user, others look like values that are calculated from encoding a video.

Can you tell me more about just what pts and dts are?  I understand 
generally what they are but it seems like there are a few places in the 
VUI where they might play a role in calculating values.  I haven't had a 
chance yet to compare to x264 code yet so if it all becomes obvious 
there then I will get it.

I tried to create a user account on bitbucket so I could have issue 21 
assigned to me but I keep getting


  Forbidden (403)

CSRF verification failed. Request aborted.


maybe bitbucket doesn't think I am human
