Boy, my mencoder must be magic. Somehow I can transcode a dvd that has
varying frame rates to a constant frame rate .avi... and I don't even
have to specify -vf pullup, it just does the right thing, dropping
frames when necessary, or adding them as the case may be (depending
on what -ofps I specify, of course).
