[MPlayer-users] determining framerate from asf files

I'm not an expert but I have used ASF files sometimes. The problem is that the 
framerate is not a fixed value, as it changes acording with the scene.
What I have done to encode them as avi files is to use mencoder and trying 
different framerates with "-ofps". If you choose one value too high you will 
see a big amount of lines with "duplicate frame" appearing on your screen. If 
the value is too low, you will see those lines with "skip frame".
You have to try different values as to see the minimum amount of lines 
appearing (etter to read "duplicate" than "skip").
Usually with two or three tries you find it. For sound, sometimes it is better 
to write simply " -oac copy" than trying to encode it with "mp3lame".
Good luck!
