I've tried that telecine option, but nothing I feed the resulting video into
sees it as 30 fps. The DVD players say 24, mediainfo says 24, QuickTime
player says 24. I don't understand why. Does the command option have other
requirements? I mean if the output of a command that employs that option is
30, it should be obvious, right?
