The files I'm looking at are actually reported by MPlayer as having a
frame rate of 60.100 - though oddly, one of the two I just glanced at to
check is reported as 60.099. And these files were themselves created by
MEncoder; the two I just looked at were from SVN revisions 21283 and
19461.

I don't know what sets of options the files were encoded with, but this
kind of odd frame rate does seem to be fairly standard for files from
this source (tasvideos.org). At least they usually don't get bad A/V
sync anymore...


(...reminds me, I need to submit a few "sample played back incorrectly"
reports...)
