$ mplayer -vo null -ao null -identify -frames 10 -quiet $FILE 2>/dev/null | grep ^ID_VIDEO_FPS

My suggestion is that rather than assuming that the frame rate is 29.97 (which it might not be for say, HD recordings), you could use ffmpeg to determine the frame rate. For mpeg2 files ffmpeg -i recordedfile.mpg 2>&1 | grep "Stream #0.0" | sed "s/^.*kb\/s, //;s/tb(.)//" seems to spit out the correct number. It doesn't work for recordings transcoded to nuv though.
