Subject: [PATCH] libavformat/movenc : Change MOV_TIMESCALE from 1000 to 600

Changing the MOV_TIMESCALE value from 1000 to 600 results in
files that seek accurately in professional Quicktime software. This is
due to the fact 600 is cleanly divisible by more frame rates than 1000, for
example 24fps and 30fps. The Quicktime specification default is set to 600
for this reason. When set to 1000 seeking can be inaccurate for these fame
rates.

This breaks fate, our regression testing suite (my mistake).
To download the test-suite:
$ make SAMPLES=fate-suite fate-rsync
$ make SAMPLES=fate-suite GEN=1 fate
This changes the values for fate, then commit again with:
$ git commit tests libavformat

Sorry, Carl Eugen
