FFmpeg - dropping duplicate frames

Question

FFmpeg knows about duplicate frames in the input video stream as it outputs a message like this:

More than 1000 frames duplicated

Is there some way to tell it: "Not include duplicates into the output stream, please?"

EDIT (ADDED):

I tried this command (thanks to Mulvya):

ffmpeg -i scene.mkv -profile:v baseline -level 3.1 -vsync 0 -map 0:v  scene.mp4

and obtained the target video scene.mp4 with the same duration and (almost) identical in playback with original.

The command with full output of it is here:

>ffmpeg -i scene.mkv -profile:v baseline -level 3.1 -vsync 0 -map 0:v  scene.mp4

Answer 1

Don't see any frames duplicated. The message you quoted - More than 1000 frames duplicated - is not ffmpeg's analysis of the input. FFmpeg duplicates or drops frames when the input and output framerates differ. You need to use the mpdecimate filter to remove duplicates in the input:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf mpdecimate,setpts=N/FRAME_RATE/TB out.mp4
