I think the big question here in my mind is:  does anyone actually
care about the dup/drop counts?  I recognize it's a change in behavior
for the application to not show that in the status, but how useful is
it really to know that the app duplicated 50% of your frames because
you put "-r 60000/1001" on the command line?

I could go further in suggesting it's actually misleading, as people
might very well think there is a problem that resulted in frames being
dropped or duplicated, when in fact it's expected behavior if you
specify "-r" on the command-line.  Adding to the confusion is the fact
that "-r" and "-vf fps" behave differently in terms of how the status
is shown to the user (even though from a user's standpoint they are
doing the same thing).
