This problem is very easy to reproduce, and I have tried to eliminate as many variables as possible. When encoding to mkv the resulting file has a "glitch". If played in power dvd 16 it plays at about half framerate "12 fps". If I drag the timeline cursor to anything but 0 second mark it plays fine. Example: start playing - stutters, drag to 55 seconds - smooth, drag back to 0 seconds - stutters. If I set referenced frames to 1, it's good. If I encode to mp4 it's also good. I even ran the encode to mp4 and used mkvtoolnix to mux it into mkv with subtitle track and chapters, and it plays fine. Vlc doesn't seem to have the same issue, but has no atmos support. I prefer the mkv container because of the chapter and subtitle support.
UPDATE:
With further testing the culprit is aac audio conversion. If I select only a passthrough for dolby, convert to mp3, ac3, or flac it's good! Bitrate had no effect, and it only affects the mkv container. So to sum up: mkv video encoded slower than utrafast setting plus dts to aac conversion equals glitchy framerates. Also, there is no problem with 0.10.2.7268 - 64bit!
UPDATE 2:
I have switched to h.265 and it works fine, but h.264 is definitely having issues.
What are the steps to reproduce this problem:
Encode 1080p video to mkv, codec h.264, framerate constant same as source, encoder preset slower "anything slower than ultrafast setting", constant quality 20, one dolby audio track converted to aac (avcodec)
What version of HandBrake you are running:
1.0.1
What operating system and version and you running (e.g. OSX 10.11, Windows 7, Ubuntu 14):
Windows 10, and Ubuntu 16 - both have same result
