yes, this is what i'm talking about.
how is it solved in old perfect windows tools? virtualdub etc...
as i see from this changelog, transcode has the same unresolved questions
(fps must be specified by user etc) as me.

you know - the easiest way is asking/watching how is it works in other
tools, before re-inveting the same thing.

so they simply use drop/duplicate method to change fps to an user-specified
rate. i wanted to avoid this...
