Please mention that, if specifying the output framerate with -ofps, it
needs to be 23.976 or 24 (actually, there's a move to fix all the
nonsense so it's 24000/1001 everywhere -- could you change your
vframerate option to accept floats rather than strings so that exact
rational rates would work?) As it stands, I think a lot of people will
be confused and think they have to use -ofps 30 (or 30000/1001) for
soft telecine, and that will generate horribly broken files..
