well i dont know, id look at the avi muxer code to see what it gets and
then backtrace that ... :)

well i dont know that either (the problem is not the avi spec but rather
what will be accepted by the microshitty players), maybe you could try
ffmpeg or mencoder + lavf muxer and test if the output works with whatever
player you have if it does work then the lavf rate/scale is likely correct
and the issues are somewhere else (maybe in the avi muxer in mencoder)
