[MPlayer-users] mencoder incorrect fps

[Jason Pepas]

hello,

I have noticed that on many dvd's, mencoder incorrectly detects the number of 
frames per second.  

This commonly happens when I rip a dvd.  Mencoder detects the FPS as 29.97, 
and then spews out a continous stream of "1 duplicate frames!" messages.  
Manually overriding the FPS to 24 almost always fixes the problem.

Is there any way to improve mplayer's ability to detect the proper FPS?

thanks,
