No. The MPEG-2 encoder seems very picky (possibly part of the
protocol) when it comes to that. In fact a time base other than 1/25
or 1/30 and it either returns an error or smacks me with an AV. Won't
even do 29.97 fps or 50 or 60 fps.

I've been using it for about a year and still feel I know nothing
about it. It requires a lot of dedication, surfing and reading to get
comfortable with it. Great code though, and (mostly) free.
