Voukoder created VFR file from CFR source file (Adobe premiere)

1. offizieller Beitrag

    This bug happens when I select in output a mkv container.

    when I select in output a mp4 or mov container - Voukoder created CFR output file. Created mkv file does not play on media player "Dune HD smart D 301" - player reports "Unsuppoted file". Simple remux this file with "Mkvtoolnix" solves this problem, but mediainfo reports again "Frame rate mode : Variable"

    Source file

    Code
    Frame rate mode : Constant 
Frame rate : 25.000 FPS

    Output file

    Code
    Frame rate mode : Variable 
Original frame rate : 25.000 FPS

    What happens if you use a different preset? Does that work on your player?

    Now I choose software encode: Preset H264 >> General Purpose

    Code
    crf=17.000 opencl=1 preset=medium rc=crf x264-params=qpmax=22:aq-mode=2:aq-strength=0.700:rc-lookahead=180:keyint=480:min-keyint=3:bframes=11:b-adapt=2:ref=3:deblock=0:0:direct=auto:me=umh:merange=32:subme=10:trellis=2:no-fast-pskip=1

    again the same result

    Frame rate mode : Variable

    Not playable.

    Yes, I got the same result with mediainfo, and it doesn't look right. I even confirmed this with testing the file using this method: https://superuser.com/questions/1487…able-frame-rate

    Code
    ffmpeg.exe -i filename.mkv -vf vfrdet -an -f null -

    MP4

    Code
    frame=  125 fps=0.0 q=-0.0 Lsize=N/A time=00:00:05.00 bitrate=N/A speed=68.8x

    MKV

    Code
    frame=  125 fps=0.0 q=-0.0 Lsize=N/A time=00:00:05.04 bitrate=N/A speed=  73x
video:65kB audio:0kB subtitle:0kB other streams:0kB global headers:0kB muxing overhead: unknown

    It also only seems to happen when an audio track is included.

    I will investigate this.

    Edit:

    Frame 0:

    • Time: 0ms
    • Duration: 40ms

    Frame 1:

    • Time: 61ms (Should be actually 40ms here!)
    • Duration: 40ms

    Frame 2:

    • Time: 101ms (Should be actually 80ms here!)
    • Duration: 40ms

    ...

    So when analyzing the stream it finds the first frame takes 61ms, the second 40ms and there we have a variable frame rate.

    It looks to me this is happening from rescaling the timing from 1/25 to 1/1000 and syncing it with the audio track sample rate. If I change the sample rate the offset (61ms) changes too. Seems this issue is deep within FFmpeg.

    With the latest version of the Voukoder, the "mediainfo" correctly shows Frame rate mode : Constant, but the file is still not played by the media player "Dune HD smart D 301" - player reports "Unsuppoted file". Again simple remux this file with "Mkvtoolnix" solves this problem.
