Stef,
There is no process relating PCR /PTS to real time (assuming by real time
you mean GMT or UTC etc)
PCR values wrap at an interval greater than 24 hours.
There is rarely any relationship between the PCR value and 'wall clock
time'.
The PTS relates to the PCR - that is the PTS is the presentation time stamp
for the content it is embedded in (video, audio or subtitles). When the PCR
value in the stream matches the PTS, the content should be presented (i.e.
the video frame should be visible, audio heard, or subtitle displayed).
Hope this helps...

That's what I figured. If I were to rephrase my question, what is the
process for matching timestamp data from the streams to real time?

I have read it, but not found it hugely edifiying. I'm not being lazy,
just thick.
