I just realized that I should be using 24000/1001 in my examples instead of 23.976. For that matter, 23.976 is used througout the mencoder documentation.
If 24000/1001 is indeed correct, then all the docs should be updated. Instead of just 'sed -i s:23.976:24000/1001:g mencoder.xml' it would probably be nice to explain where all the weird numbers come from, either in our own words or by linking to an external page.
I'll do the work, except that I really don't understand it myself and I couldn't dig anything up on google. Can somebody explain it to me or give me a URL?
I think you are right, but I forgot the reason (I don't encode).
Rich?
Rich just told me the following on IRC:
00:36 <@DonDiego_> but what about the 23.976 vs 24000/1001? 00:36 <@dalias> oh 00:36 <@dalias> if you ever feed fps to mencoder, it should be 24000/1001 00:36 <@dalias> not 23.976
Corey, could you send a patch that fixes this?
Diego
Sure, I can do that this weekend. Still, I'd really like to know the origin of the numbers: why is video 24000/1001 instead of just 24? Why 30000/1001 instead of just 30? I know I read the reason once, somewhere, but I can't remember. Rich, do you know of a reasource for me to read? Or will you please explain it to me yourself? If I learn why I'll write up a section for the docs. -Corey
