Hmm, that's strange, is ffmpeg encoding in realtime only? Whatever the
load is, I get 25fps.

ffmpeg -i 24_Season2_Episode1.avi -f mpeg -vcodec mpeg2video -b 2500
-acodec mp2 -ab 256 24_Season02_Episode01.mpg

Is currently running at 60% cpu (2 rsyncs hogging the rest) an
transcodes 25fps. It also does 25fps when it could get 100% cpu. Strange
that.

Wow, mencoder does 100fps. It doesn't transcode to mp2 audio at the
moment, forgot the codec options.
