That sounds like mplayer's broken frame rate conversion.  mplayer stores
the framerate as a floating point number internally, then uses a function
in libavcodec to convert it to a fraction.  This function doesn't work.
It's turning 60000/1001 into 19001/317, which is nearly the same but
not exactly the same.  I got into a big flamewar with Rich last year
when he insisted the code in mplayer would always work, and refused to
even look at my example of when it didn't.
