    Hi, D Richard Felker III!

Sometime (on Thursday, February  6 at 18:39) I've received something...

I think it may be done with one additional bit - integer framerate and
optional divider (if flag is 0 then 1.0 and otherwise 1.001 - see MPEG
standard) so you can have these 29.97 as 30/1.001 and the same 23.976
as 24/1.001. :)

    With best wishes.
    Andriy.
