Hi,

I'm working on a couple of NTSC DVDs, and even with the latest version
of transcode (ver. 1.0.3), I'm getting conflicting framerate readings
from tcprobe.

When I run tcprobe on the DVD ("tcprobe -H 100 -i /dev/dvd"), I get the
following:

[tcprobe] summary for /dev/dvd, (*) = not default, 0 = not detected
import frame size: -g 720x480 [720x576] (*)
     aspect ratio: 16:9 (*)
       frame rate: -f 23.976 [25.000] frc=1 (*)
      audio track: -a 0 [0] -e 48000,16,2 [48000,16,2] -n 0x2000
[0x2000] 
      audio track: -a 1 [0] -e 48000,16,2 [48000,16,2] -n 0x2000
[0x2000] 
      audio track: -a 2 [0] -e 48000,16,2 [48000,16,2] -n 0x2000
[0x2000] 

Even after using tccat and running tcprobe on the mpegpes video, tcprobe
still reports a framerate of 23.976.

However, when I use transcode, and pass it "-f 23.976,1" or even "-f
24,1" or "-f 24,2", it is unable to convert the video. mplayer, on the
other hand, reports a framerate of 29.970 reading from both the DVD and
from the tccat'd MPEG file. mplayer output:

MPEG-PS file format detected.
VIDEO:  MPEG2  720x480  (aspect 3)  29.970 fps  7500.0 kbps (937.5

The selected video_out device is incompatible with this codec.
Try appending the scale filter to your filter list,
e.g. -vf spp,scale instead of -vf spp.

when I use "-f 29.970" or "-f 29.970,4" with transcode, the input is
converted properly.

Is this a bug in transcode? If so, what can I / we do to fix it?
