[mythtv] Mythtranscode HLS/AVF heavily distorted output

Ever since 0.27 -> 0.28, mythtranscode --avf/--hls has been giving very 
distorted output for transcodings of FTA recordings here in Australia.
Prebuilt "nightlies" from Mythbuntu and my own weekly builds from master 
both experience this issue. Audio is unaffected.

All channels are affected except for ABC News 24 and SBS 2.

Here is mythffprobe output for an affected recording file before 
transcoding:

Output for a non affected recording (from ABC News 24 or SBS 2) has 
similar output which I can provide if needed.
Have several samples of affected and non-affected recordings that I can 
share.

Thanks,
Will
