Okay, I knoiw why the timecode doesn't get updated, but noto what to do
about it.

effectively, when doing a fast-forward, we can jump directly to the video
frame in question (via the recordedmarkup table).
Depending on the jump, in getFrame() pkt->pts may contain AV_NOPTS_VALUE
(i.e. we haven't seen a sync frame...or so i assume).  Since we cleared
lastvpts during the fast-forward, we now have no timecode.

The best option I can think of is to not clear lastvpts on a
fast-forward, but that may cause some other issues, and i'm not familliar
enough with the code to know what they are.  Can someone pick this up and
run with it?  If not, the patch I posted will work fine for the
transcoder, but I'm not sure what the ramifications would be to other
video consumers.
