Basically, I'm encoding DVDs in batch mode, under debian. Or trying to.

The source files have some problems with audio/video synch, so my plan is to force the audio and video lengths to match. Clearly, then, to do this I'll need to speed up/slow down one or the other, and--since the errror is variable--to work out how much to do this I need to know exactly how long each is, for each file [ideally, in terms of fps/sample rate and total number of frames/samples, rather than a duration in seconds]. Since it's all going to be in batch mode, I'll need a CLI program of some sort to do it.

I am up to writing a C wrapper that calls a library function that does all the sums for me, but I'm not the world's best programmer and I'd obviously prefer not to have to.
