The last paragraph under "Color Encoding" explains the "odd" number for 
the NTSC frame rate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTSC#Color_encoding

While taking care of the correct display of time for NTSC and PAL, 
please also adjust the OSD for PAL and NTSC. Right now it takes a plugin 
called videosystem, which does not seem to be maintained anymore to 
alter the size of the OSD when playing back NTSC video. Without this 
plugin parts of the OSD will be "out of bounds".
