[FFmpeg-user] frame rate:24 or 24000/1001 for native movies

[Phil Rhodes]

Salient information:
It would be unusual for an NTSC-oriented DVD containing a feature film to have anything other than either 23.976 or 24fps material on it. 
A vanishingly small minority of DVDs containing feature films, particularly early releases made from the same tape masters that had been prepared for VHS duplication, may have 3:2 pulldown on them and you should be able to use special measures to unwind this if it's been done competently.
Feature films are very commonly shot at 23.976 (strictly 24000/1001.) Theoretically, anything on an NTSC-oriented DVD will be shown at that rate.

Note that players should simply ignore the soft-telecine assuming
you are not using an old american tv set.

The ntsc framerate is 30000/1001, if you divide this by the usual
telecine rate, you get 24000/1001. FFmpeg's console output will
tell you if it had to drop or duplicate frames. If - except maybe for
the absolute start of the video to correct different audio and video
start times - no frames are dropped or duplicated, the output frame
rate is correct.
