Perhaps before somebody is going to modify the algorithm, it is a good idea to
verify that this is indeed the problem.
If this is the problem why don't more people have these problems?
If I know which values for fb,ref and post to use for 23.976fps I can hard code
these In a patch and test if it indeed works.
So which values are save to get a clock of 74.2MHz?</pre>
