Ah, so the fps filter *could* display the same/similar kind of "frames 
duplicated" messages, it just doesn't.  Thanks Carl, that's kind of what I 
suspected.

PS. I do realize there may be instances (eg. different codecs and/or 
increasing fps) where the filter vs -r option could make more of a 
difference.  But in this instance, as you say, probably nothing noticeable.
