Your input is not very helpful to me. If you have a suggestion on how
to make it fit into the structure, I am all ears.

Because Mencoder is designed to run as a single flow of tasks (ie
initialise, read and write output), most variables are initialised at
the start. I am running the mencoder process 24x7, and I believe
extending it to take runtime variable changes is not trivial. At this
stage, all I am interested in is the impact of the code added, or
suggestions on a better place to handle the runtime change of the
force_fps variable.

So far, I have not seen any problems in my testing. It has been
running smoothly for over 3 days.

Thanks anyway.
