I've also sent him a patch but got no answer. I forgot to send it to the list
and have been away from home for about a week, and I'll be away for another
week. I can't send a patch, since I only have access to "usable", and not
"abusable", computers, so there's no Linux and I can't install MinGW.

Anyways, here's the description of the diff:
Change ffmpeg.c:1523-1526 to
codec->time_base.den = ist->st->r_frame_rate.num;
codec->time_base.num = ist->st->r_frame_rate.den;

The problem happens with any stream copying. It was just very noticeable in FLV
since it used 1/1000 as time base.

It seemed to work fine on all tests I did. I wasn't very thorough though.
