That call reduces the fraction get_std_framerate(j) / (12*1001) to
lowest terms, replacing it with the closest possible approximation with
the terms below INT_MAX if the original int64_t values were bigger
(seems unlikely in this case though), and places the resulting numerator
and denominator in st->r_frame_rate.num and st->r_frame_rate.den.

So basically it writes the fps value get_std_framerate(j)/(12*1001) to
the st->r_frame_rate fields.
