[FFmpeg-devel] Specifying MOV_TIMESCALE from a command-line switch

Thanks for the response, Marton.
The LCM of track timescales would work for our purposes, or one of the patches you referenced that Kevin Wheatley proposed.
I'm not sure of the patch process. Is this a current work in progress?
Any way I can help it to get to release?

Thanks,
John
