that seems to be a regression since
6f69f7a8bf6a0d013985578df2ef42ee6b1c7994

IIRC the intended timebase is 1/50 for this kind of content
(allowing the support of interlaced and field duplicated content to
 appear later)

Higher framerates / finer timebases need noticably more space to
be stored in avi, thats not the case for other formats and thats
one reason why avi is treated as a special case.

ill try to look tomorrow why its 100fps since the previous
codecpar patches. Though 100fps is not nearly as bad as 600fps
600 has ~6 times the overhead

Thanks

It is what and why we do it that matters, not just one of them.
