repeat_pict is set correctly, an application can use it to find the frame
duration. If its not set correctly thats a bug and should be fixed
your patch does export a nonsense and wrong value that does often not
represent the frame duration and that often will not work
until you have read the relevant parts of teh spec i dont think we have
a basis for discussion
