The length of recorded programs are wrong in OSD where using PAL

Description
Due to the fact that PAL uses 25 fps instead of 24 fps the routine to calculate the length of a recorded show in OSD ( "i" key during playback) returns the wrong length.
An example: 1 hour PAL recording is 90000 frames (3600 second x 25 fps) . When using 24 fps to get the length this translates into 3750 secons (90000 frames / 24 fps), with is 1 hour 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
Only tested this on linux but I guess it's the same on all platforms.
I'm running against source code version (updated a couple of weeks ago) but have seen this in any version I have tried.

Not sure if my calculations is correct but the problem remains. An exactly one hour show is reported to have an length of one hour 2 minutes and 30 seconds in the OSD display. An show that is 55 minutes is reported as about 58 minutes. I guess there is some trouble with the routine that calculates the length of a show (seems to be using frames as the base forcalculations)
