Presentation Time Stamp. I couldn't say it any better than the wiki page, found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presentation_time_stamp

You may also find this relative link here on SO useful: Can the ffmpeg av libs return an accurate PTS?

Cool, thanks. I found this but wasn't sure if it was correct in this context. – jtrim May 05 '10 at 15:29
Ya it's definitely the right one. I just had a meeting the other day and had to talk about it a bit. Good times. :) – Douglas May 05 '10 at 15:32
