/**
 * SECTION:element-videorate
 *
 * This element takes an incoming stream of timestamped video frames.
 * It will produce a perfect stream that matches the source pad's framerate.
 *
 * The correction is performed by dropping and duplicating frames, no fancy
 * algorithm is used to interpolate frames (yet).
 *
 * By default the element will simply negotiate the same framerate on its
 * source and sink pad.
 *
 * This operation is useful to link to elements that require a perfect stream.
 * Typical examples are formats that do not store timestamps for video frames,
 * but only store a framerate, like Ogg and AVI.
 *
 * A conversion to a specific framerate can be forced by using filtered caps on
 * the source pad.
 *
 * The properties #GstVideoRate:in, #GstVideoRate:out, #GstVideoRate:duplicate
 * and #GstVideoRate:drop can be read to obtain information about number of
 * input frames, output frames, dropped frames (i.e. the number of unused input
 * frames) and duplicated frames (i.e. the number of times an input frame was
 * duplicated, beside being used normally).
 *
 * An input stream that needs no adjustments will thus never have dropped or
 * duplicated frames.
 *
 * When the #GstVideoRate:silent property is set to FALSE, a GObject property
 * notification will be emitted whenever one of the #GstVideoRate:duplicate or
 * #GstVideoRate:drop values changes.
 * This can potentially cause performance degradation.
 * Note that property notification will happen from the streaming thread, so
 * applications should be prepared for this.
