Constant Framerate Ignored using VideoToolbox
Posted: Thu Sep 05, 2024 5:09 am
Description of problem or question:
When using VideoToolbox as the Encoder with the Framerate set to "Same as Source" with "Constant Framerate" checked, the resulting file opened in Media Info shows the "Frame rate mode" line as being "Variable", showing Min and Max framerates. The two are imperceptably different during playback at 23.974fps and 23.981fps while the overall framerate is listed as 23.876 which is what the source file is listed as in Media Info.
Changing the encoder to x265 results in a file with "Constant" in Media Info, but I need to use VTB for speed.
Is this expected behavior for VTB or possible a bug in Media Info?
Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
Using 1.7.3. Holding off on 1.8+ until the option to exclude DV is available.
Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):
macOS 14.5
HandBrake Activity Log ***required*** (see How-to get an activity log)
