I am using ffmpeg to load and mp4 and save an mp4. When I load the source mp4 (from android screen record) into blender, it will not import properly and unusable.
When I run the mp4 through ffmpeg, the problem is resolved. A new problem is unfortunately introduced.
The resulting video is at a noticeably lower framerate. It is distinguishable to the naked eye, and I have unanimously had three other people confirm that the output video is choppy where the source video is not.
The funny thing is, is that when loaded in VLC, it is reported they are both at 12.58 fps under tools>media info>codec. The source video still looks smooth though, where the output does not.
Does anyone have an direction that could be given in possibly rectifying this problem?
Thanks
Here is the command and the output
ffmpeg -i android_record1.mp4 -crf 18 ../corrected/output.mp4
