The number I pulled from the fceu source is NTSC: 1008307711/256/65536 = 60.099822938442230224609375
But I also came across an interesting conversation in my IRC logs that seems related to what you're experiencing.
Dec 31 19:49:31 <Bisqwit> ntscnesframe 655171|39375000 s
Dec 31 19:49:31 <Bisqwit> palnesframe 66495|3325214 s
Dec 31 19:49:31 <Bisqwit> ntscfceuframe (16777216 | 1008307711) s
Dec 31 19:49:31 <Bisqwit> palfceuframe (16777216 | 838977920) s
Dec 31 19:49:34 <Bisqwit> well, here are the constants.
Dec 31 19:52:10 <Ilari> The NES framerate is not that simple number. It varies a bit between different consoles and even with time in the same console. Its also affected a bit by temperature, etc...
Dec 31 19:52:47 <Bisqwit> Well, you have to choose _something_ if you aren't going to perform a frame by frame analysis of runtime
Dec 31 19:52:48 <Ilari> Those numbers are likely numbers from the specs. Real world values vary a bit from that...
Dec 31 19:53:37 <DeHackEd> failing FCEU performing voltage measurements from your power supply to estimate the clock skew, it's probably good enough
Dec 31 19:55:50 <Johannes> a logo rendered at 0.99835580952381 fps has a hex equalent of 0262cfdb / 000a037a, while FCEU recordings use 3c198dff / 00ffffff, according to vdub
Dec 31 19:55:54 <Johannes> 60*
Dec 31 19:56:09 <Johannes> 60.09881389744052 doesn't work either
Dec 31 19:57:05 <DeHackEd> .cl 0x3c198dff / 0xffffff
Dec 31 19:57:06 <Bisqwit> 1008307711 / 16777215 = 60.09982652067104
Dec 31 19:57:24 <Johannes> *tries*
Dec 31 19:58:09 <naohiro19> What's do you mean "EEE"?
Dec 31 19:58:34 <Johannes> it doesn't work either
Dec 31 19:59:04 <Johannes> a logo rendered at 60.09982652067104 fps has a hex equalent of d390891f / 03852d1e
Dec 31 19:59:42 <Ilari> Can't one force those vidoe edit programs to assume diffrerent framerate than one recorded. Its not like it matters in two second segment?
Dec 31 20:00:07 <DeHackEd> I'm inclined to agree
Dec 31 20:01:49 <Ilari> And if those values are somewhere in the video, hexedit the file to have the correct framerate?
Dec 31 20:01:51 <Johannes> the problem is that I can't combine them because they don't share a common framerate. to combine them, I'd have to convert both to the same framerate, which would make the rest of the video run at the wrong framerate
Dec 31 20:02:13 <Johannes> unless I can render the logo at the same framerate at fceu
Dec 31 20:02:17 <Johannes> which seems impossible
Dec 31 20:02:25 <Johannes> as*
Dec 31 20:02:44 <Ilari> Johannes`: Is the final result of logo rendering a video file or sequence of still frames?
Dec 31 20:02:59 <Johannes> video file
Dec 31 20:03:08 <Johannes> with still frames
Dec 31 20:03:50 <Ilari> Johannes`: In what format? Perhaps one can hexedit it to be of correct framerate?
Dec 31 20:04:09 <Johannes> the problem is that I can't find the correct framerate.
Dec 31 20:04:17 <Johannes> VD can render with any framerate
Dec 31 20:05:05 <Ilari> Johannes`: What format is the final logo rendering result in?
Dec 31 20:05:10 <Ilari> Johannes`: .avi?
Dec 31 20:05:11 <Johannes> avi

Dec 31 20:06:01 <curtmack> the textbox renderer in Bunny Must Die, when run via Wine, has the curious side effect of vertically flipping the ENTIRE SCREEN
Dec 31 20:06:09 <curtmack> but then it draws the text in the normal location
Dec 31 20:06:14 <curtmack> which is not where the textbox is anymore
Dec 31 20:07:25 * mc_rove has quit ()
Dec 31 20:12:34 <Ilari> Johannes`: Open both videos in hex editor. Search for those (fractional) frame rate values in both (note, they are probably "flipped" so 3c198dff becomes 'ff 8d 19 3c' (so called little-endian)). They should be in offsets 72 and 76...

Dec 31 20:26:32 <DeHackEd> I see it right there
Dec 31 20:26:55 <curtmack> I don't know what's worse - the fact that I'm fighting a digitized GIANT CAT, or the fact that I'm LOSING.
Dec 31 20:27:58 <DeHackEd> both of them actually
Dec 31 20:28:14 <THROBiX> oki
Dec 31 20:28:42 <curtmack> to be clear: by "giant" I mean "its paws are roughly 40 times the size of me"
Dec 31 20:29:19 <Ilari> Johannes`: So copy bytes at offsets 0x80-0x87 from main video file to logo file (don't forget to take a backup for case anything goes wrong).

Dec 31 20:32:47 <Johannes> NES' framerate really does vary
Dec 31 20:33:18 <Johannes> I cut a minute off the end of the FCEU recording, and now it reports a different framerate
Dec 31 20:34:07 <THROBiX> what is ofset 0x80 to 0x87 in a video file?
Dec 31 20:34:10 <THROBiX> something in the header?
Dec 31 20:34:12 <THROBiX> offset*
Dec 31 20:34:33 <Ilari> THROBiX: It appears that AVI file framerate is stored there...
Dec 31 20:34:34 <THROBiX> might depend on encoder though, heh
Dec 31 20:34:39 <THROBiX> I see

Dec 31 20:36:27 <Didgeridoodle> happy new year
Dec 31 20:36:33 <Johannes> it worked
Dec 31 20:36:36 <Ilari> THROBiX: 8, since that range is inclusive...
Dec 31 20:36:44 <THROBiX> aah
Dec 31 20:36:46 <THROBiX> my fault
Dec 31 20:37:30 <THROBiX> 8 bytes is a long long int or something? :P
Dec 31 20:37:43 <THROBiX> I don't know these stuff very well :/
Dec 31 20:37:49 <THROBiX> but that seems too much for only a FPS
Dec 31 20:37:55 <THROBiX> an*
Dec 31 20:38:12 <THROBiX> are* :<
Dec 31 20:38:47 <Johannes> nes' fps has lots of decimal
Dec 31 20:38:50 <Johannes> s
Dec 31 20:38:50 <Ilari> THROBiX: Its two doublewords, one for numerator and one for denumerator.
Dec 31 20:39:12 <adiabatty> well, if you have 32 bits, you have 2^32 different numbers--about 4 billion, I'd say
Dec 31 20:39:13 <THROBiX> Johannes`: ah
Dec 31 20:39:18 <THROBiX> I see
Dec 31 20:40:23 <THROBiX> I thought an FPS would be non-decimal based
Dec 31 20:40:31 <THROBiX> but the fact that it's not made things clearer
Dec 31 20:40:41 <THROBiX> I have a lot to learn =)

@Noob: We don't publish highdef videos on the site, if you want to encode a standard def publication of reasonable quality and are willing to create the screenshot, torrent file, etc. Then I'll publish it for you.

<OmnipotentEntity> DrNach, adelikat, wanted to let you know, sorry I've been scarce lately, I'm preparing for a move, I'll be offline for the most part of the next two days, I won't be able to get the sonic encode done (for the publish.) if you want to reassign that's fine,
<OmnipotentEntity> the high def encode is finished.
<OmnipotentEntity> and I just need to publish to youtubes.
<Grunt> Omni, post a note to that effect in the thread.
<Grunt> Encoders will swarm over it if necessary. <_<

I experienced weapon corruption on a NES. I don't know if this can be useful in a run, and I'm not certain how to reproduce (or if it was just a cart glitch or something) I took a video after the fact if anyone wants to look at it.
