I actually got it from here:

http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showpost.php?p=878967&postcount=4

I just had to change the multiplier on lines 39 and 40 to 1001.60000
since my recordings have a framerate of 59.940. This script has been
working for me, but it is not as precise as I am used to and it does
require reencoding (no lossless conversion).
