Subject: MJPEG frame rate conversion utility

Hello Gernot

To be short, I have (almost) successfully compiled version
1.6 because I wanted to create VCD's with content shot with
my digital camera. Everything was ok until I noticed that
the resulting stream was much faster than the original. It
is because mpeg2enc assumes that the source frame rate is
the correct one, I think.

To fix  this, I've written an utility (yuvfps) that up or
down-samples the frame rate of a YUV4MPEG stream using
bresenham's technique. As a side effect, it is also useful
to generate slow-motion or fast-forward special effects.

As I am new to Linux, Open Source and Unix in general (but
with 15 years of  Windows/SQL Server/Oracle/Java software
development under my belt), I don't know yet how to use CVS
or what to do in case you are interested in adding the
utility to your collection.

=BF What do you think ?. Oh, in case I've addressed the wrong
person please tell me.
