Encoded video is shorter than original source.

Description

Here's a test video from our regression test suite, which when encoded is shorter than the original.
The original length is 8.99s, after encoding it's 7.2s. Also mplayer identifies the original source as being 10fps, however QuickTime reports it to be 8.01fps.

Tested on OS X & Debian and also verified by others in #mplayer. It was suggested there that it might be because of a variable framerate. Which is what it looks like while actually playing the video in QT.

sample is 404, please reopen if this is still a problem (and i'm guessing variable fps is)
