Yes, it will use more disk space temporarily to dump at a higher 
framerate -- but after re-encoding, it will be the same size.  I suspect 
that you'll also have a higher quality file because the encoder will have 
more data to work with.  That being said, I think strk is correct that 
having a general-purpose flag would be great.

Have fun!  :-)
