Some video sources are not of constant framerate.
This is mostly true for Anime and some DVD Releases
of TV series. Use this command line
(XXX: Write much more here :)

Well, it happens that so-called "hybrid" dvd's are the norm in
NTSC land, so this little variation on Fermat's last gasp is
potentially very interesting. There are some wonderfully mysterious
options in there! Can anyone comment on this who has tried it, or
something similar?
This is of potentially great importance for dealing with mkv and
mp4 containers with vfr as well.
