[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] lavf/movenc: suggest video_track_timescale for invalid timescale

[Josh de Kock]

Fixes ticket #5882. While it doesn't automatically set the timescale
for the user as that would destroy data without prompt, it will tell
the user how they could set the timescale (as this is mostly likely
what they want).
