H.264 at 30.120 fps!!

Who in the world dreamed this one up?
I'm not joking , one of the disks a client handed me has this long .MOV file that both Vegas and Ppro agree it is H.264 640x480 1:1 PAR at 30.120fps progressive. I'd think you'd have to work hard to get such an oddball frame rate.

Or have I missed something, was that chosen as some wierd multiple of something else? Normally I wouldn't care much but as I've got to convert it to 50i with the least harm done more info might help. Looking at it frame by frame it does look like considerable frame blending has gone on in the life of this video.

Sounds like the little Kodak V1073 that Laurence put me onto.

Ok, It's really a $150 still camera. Shoots nice HD though.

Edit: Just checked the Kodak camera and Vegas reports:
30.077 fps, 640x480x24, MPEG-4 Video

and in the Comments section:
EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY KODAK EASYSHARE V1073 DIGITAL CAMERA

Close but still an odd rate.

Normally the header stores the values.

1000 / 1001 *30 = 29.970027

looks like someone figured

1004/1000 * 30 = 30.12

There are header editors, maybe someone put in the value?

I'm struggling with some 16fps AVI files I created from film. I've lost my formula for rendering those using something other than uncompressed. I hate these senior moments ...

Isn't the 5D at that funky frame rate too?
