Won't Convert Variable Framerate to Constant Framerate

Post by firesoul19 »

Apologies if this exists somewhere, but I couldn't find it with a search.

Description of problem or question:
I am trying to convert variable framerate files to constant framerate files with no other changes because Premiere loses its mind about variable framerate files. However, they are not converting. Both MediaInfo and Premiere see them as Variable Framerate still.

Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):

1) Drop a file in Handbrake
2) I match the dimensions to the original file and turn off all filters
3) Put Video Codec to: H.264 (x264) and "Constant Framerate". Quality is Constant Quality: 22
4) Choose where to save & start Encode
5) File creates, then I check in Media Info & Premiere to see if it converted properly. So far, no dice. Makes no sense since I did this just a couple weeks ago without issue. Am I missing something?

HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):

1.3.3


Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):

Windows 10 10.0.19042 Build 19042

Also: I used both 23.976 and 'Same as source" for the FPS and neither worked.
