Matroska x264 to x265 conversion doesn't accept "same as original" frame rate...stuck on 25fps

Post by ragamuffin » Sat May 05, 2018 12:58 am

Using version x64 0.8.53 5930 and trying to convert a 4k x265 video to 1080p x264. The source frame rate is 23.976 and I tried selecting "same as original" (or whatever the wording is) but it only converts to 25fps. I'm a bit confused about the tick box next to the Frame Rate option which can have no tick, a light grey tick and a bold tick. But anyway, no option I've tried will copy the original frame rate.

Some guy had the same problem back in 2007 and suggested that MKVMerge wasn't doing its thing in correctly identifying the source frame rate so opted for a standard 25fps. I have to manually select the frame rate to 23.976 (or its 1001 equivalent) to get the conversion to work properly.

So I think this is a fault. If not what am I doing wrong?
