Frame-accurate cuts with ffmpeg for 29.97 fps

deleted 8 characters in body
Source Link

I've noticed that for some video sources with a (constant) frame-rate of 29.97 it'll output a video with a duration of 100.034 and 2998 frames instead of the expected 100 and 2997. For subsequent segments (e.g. ffmpeg -ss 100 -t 100) it will output a video with a duration of 100.67 and a framerate of 2999 frames.
