FFMPEG / libx264: How to specify a variable frame rate but with a maximum?

Instead of providing a fixed frame rate to FFMPEG/libx264 (-r/-framerate), I would like to specify a variable frame rate with a MAXIMUM value, and allow libx264 to down the frame rate as it sees fit. The idea here is to get extra compression when…

Getting gratuitous amounts of soft page faults when loading games and watching flash video

I have a long video with a frame rate of 30 FPS that I want to convert into a 200x time-lapse with a frame rate of 60 FPS. My only problem is that avconv is unnecessarily duplicating every other frame in the output, making the 60 FPS output…
