about right frame rate on .m4v

Hi,
I'm playing some raw mpeg4 (.m4v) video files, and I see this strange behavior:
while Tools -> Media Informations -> Codec Details knows the right framerate of the video (let's say: 8fps), VLC actually doesn't use this information to play it smoothly.
With a fast look into vlc's code, seems in fact that the only way to change .M4V framerates is using --m4v-fps option, which default is 25.

Now, is this a 'feature' or a bug? Am I doing something wrong?

It is a shortcoming of VLC. PLease fix it and send a patch :)
