You should post this on the list. We might get a more vivid discussion
there. I'll crosspost it.

Is this using his latest patch? I didn't check the whole source, but
scanning over his last patch I see lots of math being done using a
variable called video_frame_rate. If this is set correctly his patch
might well do the trick. (I can't test it here since mythtv.org seems to
be down)

I'll do some more testing when I can get the new version.
