This patch seems to change tbr
./ffmpeg -i fate-suite//h264/lossless.h264
Stream #0:0: Video: h264 (High 4:4:4 Predictive), yuv420p(progressive), 640x480, 25 fps, 60 tbr, 1200k tbn
vs.
Stream #0:0: Video: h264 (High 4:4:4 Predictive), yuv420p(progressive), 640x480, 25 fps, 120 tbr, 1200k tbn

with 
./ffmpeg -i fate-suite//h264/lossless.h264  -f framecrc -

The output uses 1/60 thats odd because if every frame can be represented in
1/60 then tbr is 1/60 or more course
OTOH if tbr is finer than 1/60 then not every frame can be represented in 1/60

maybe iam missing something but the new value seems worse and also
not consistent with what ffmpeg actually uses

thx
