Please understand that only current FFmpeg git head 
is supported on this mailing list.

I believe there are three possibilities:
Your input file could be broken and contain random 
timestamps, in this case you need -r 25
FFmpeg might be unable to read the timestamps from 
your file correctly, in this case -r 25 is a 
workaround.
Or the timestamps in your file are correct and 
FFmpeg can read them, in this case you should 
not use -r 25

Iirc, you have to read the time_base you set for 
a stream after setting it, FFmpeg might have 
changed it.
