Not possible to override bogus FPS in raw h264 streams

Description

It's not possible to override fps on raw h264 streams.

For example, I have a stream produced by Raspberry PI HW encoder which plays fine when fps
is forced. The actual fps is 15, but recent ffmpeg versions default somehow to 25fps.

How to reproduce:

% ffmpeg -r 15 -i stream_00 -vcodec copy stream.mp4

Output file plays faster then normal because the actual source is 15fps and ffmpeg does not allow to override this.

Last version that works as expected is 0.11.2.

I tested your sample and command line the other day and it appeared to me that out.mp4 is created with the the intended 15fps. Which application do you use for testing / how does ffplay play the output file for you?

Indeed, mplayer shows the actual produced file to be 15fps.

Text output is still misleading "25 fps" though.

Afaict, this was a regression which was fixed by Michael. If you believe that the console output is misleading, please open a new ticket.
