Ok, then I guess I need to slow down the p60 clips to p30 before handing
them to kdenlive. Do you know a way to set fps without re-encoding the
content, and maybe also set audio track sample rate to 22050 hz too?

Maybe this would do it:

$ ffmpeg -i orig.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -r 30 -ar 22050 test.mp4

Or maybe not, since mplayer trust the codec frame rate, though ffmpeg
and ffplay only complain:

$ ffmpeg -i testi.mp4 
...
    Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame
    rate: 120000.00 (120000/1) -> 59.94 (60000/1001)
    Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'testi.mp4':
      Duration: 00:00:19.0, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 15743 kb/s
    Stream #0.0(eng): Video: h264, yuv420p, 1280x720 [PAR 0:1 DAR 0:1], 59.94 tb(r)
    Stream #0.1(eng): Audio: mpeg4aac, 48000 Hz, stereo
    Must supply at least one output file

Will need to see how this works out with kdenlive.

It would be nice if I could just edit the frame and audio rate clip
properties in the kdenlive GUI.
