seems nothing (it is the default?)

# Write your default config options here!

what kind of file you are using? seems as RC said, only WMV use
variable video bit rate, i doubt the difference in FPS is so large?

the ffmpeg can determine the average fps of my wmv file during
encoding, so i doubt the need to play the whole file in order to get
the average fps.
