[FFmpeg-user] Image extraction broken with ffmpeg, but not with mencoder. How can I fix this?

No.  The program which reads the images doesn't care what the frame rate is.

I am not using ffmpeg to read the images.  When I use the select filter, I use it on the same AVI video file that I used to
create the images.

What?  But that won't solve the problem.  Here is the problem again.
I used ffmpeg to generate image files from an AVI video.  The frame
numbers on those image files are incorrect.  Unfortunately, I used those
image files to generate edit lists and those edit lists won't work because
of the ffmpeg bug in generating the image files.

The problem is that ffmpeg uses one formula for numbering frames when
it outputs images and it uses another formula for numbering frames when it
uses the select filter.  I just want to know what the formulas are so I can
convert the frame numbers that ffmpeg used when creating the image files
to the frame numbers that ffmpeg will later use with the select filter.  Then
I can compensate for the ffmpeg bug, and my edits will be frame exact.

Thanks.
