I've been working on some animation techniques, and I normally encode with
mencoder.  I'd like to be able to use frame rates up to 60 fps, but when I
encode the files, they only seem to encode at 30 fps, despite the fact that I
specify -ofps 60

I've been encoding to .avi using the mjpeg codec, Ideally I'd like to use
something more robust, but it's the only one that seems to work when encoding
from a series of png files.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm currently running 3.7 beta 38 in Ubuntu lucid.

-ofps is the tag in the format... when variable. Changing a tag might
not change the time code...

have a look at "-mf fps=60"
like in
$ mencoder "mf://*.png" -mf type=png:fps=60  -o zozo.avi -ovc lavc

(well, it's pervert... naming avi a mpeg 4 video)
