that is a rather inelegant way of doing this.

many movie player software allows to override the "fps" setting (fps =
frames per second)
with more advanced formats and converters like FFMpeg, you can also
set the frames per second during compression. you may need to modify
the command line for it, which is embedded in the vmd moviemaker
plugin (which is a Tk/Tcl script plugin).
