Comment:

 OKAY, the good news is that "-video_track_timescale $VALUE" indeed fixed
 the problem.
 Ohh BTW, this parameter fixed BOTH MP4 and MOV containers. Still I think
 this is an ffmpeg bug.

 I think ffmpeg should guess video FPS (or read from another input), just
 like VLC player can *and* write it's a new "video_track_timescale"
 automatically, even if the input is bugged.

 It really sucks hunting down those issues in my video collection, that I
 suddenly discover after-the-fact that some of my videos do not play on an
 iPad.
 And if I was a bit less experienced user, I would give up long ago.

 Please consider checking this parameter when encoding a video, and rewrite
 this value if needed, giving a warning.
