Description Chris Cunningham 2015-03-13 17:01:49 UTC 
"Let overlapped frame presentation timestamp equal the presentation timestamp of overlapped frame."

This sentence is really confusing. After reading it many times I think the reason its confusing is because its basically an obvious tautology ("Let the blue sky be the sky that is blue"). Would you consider taking it out?

Yes. I'll remove that step. I believe it was left over from an earlier time where the variable was used in more places. Since the only reference to the variable is on the next step, I agree it doesn't really add much value. This also would bring the text in line with other similar instances.
