The reason madVR never reports greater than ~35-40 minutes for you is because your refresh rate is 0.00042Hz to 0.00046Hz too low. If you are able to get closer to the optimal refresh rate values for your PC, you should be able to avoid dropped frames without using ReClock.
I see. Hmm. That is awkward. I have to set a custom timing of 1125 total vertical pixels. If I set it to 1124 as outlined in several guides I get a line at the bottom of the display. If I just change the framerate to 23.976 (and don't touch any of the other timings) like that it is out of range of the display. I have to adjust the total horizontal pixels to either 2749 or 2752 but then I don't get the Hz you are saying is optimal. Closest I get is 23.97629Hz using 2752 or 23.97663Hz using 2749.

I can't seem to get to the magical 23.97645-49 mark you suggest is the optimal refresh rate.

1124 total vertical pixels and 23.978 as outlined in a few places I have Googled is a no go. Nvidia 306 drivers just as a reminder

EDIT: I give up. I am going to contiue using ReClock with the refresh set at 23.97603Hz as it gives a calculation of 1 frame drop in the days (vs 1 frame drop within 2 hours if I set to 23.97663Hz - the closest I can get to the 45-49 mark - and no ReClock in the chain). I am thinking it's either an issue with Nvidia or my HDTV's EDID or it just not supporting that refresh rate (hardware or firmware issue perhaps).
