i do not think that this is a valid argument.
most formats do have a constant framerate (i think); those with an 
unknown or variable framerate could return an error-value or an invalid 
framerate (like -1)

what happens if there are formats that do not have a constant image-size 
any more ? will you remove the dimension-information from the API ?? 
(mpeg4 provides arbitrary shapes. whether it also provides a means to 
change this shape in time, i dunno)
