Can Tracker get recording frame rate rather than playback frame rate?

I would love to be able to click a box indicating that I have given tracker a slow motion video. I would then like for tracker to find, in the video metadata, what was the original recording frame rate and not the one for playback since, as a teacher, I am given numerous slow motion videos and have to dig out what the recording frame rates were to produce accurate data.

Bob, I would love to be able to find the original camera fps in the metadata, but where is it? For example, if I right-click an .mp4 video and look at its properties (on Windows), I think the details tab shows all the metadata. But no camera frame rate.
