x264: Variable Frame Rate

[nakTT]

Can x264 do variable Frame Rate encoding? If it can, what are the pros and cons? Is it advisable to use it for 500kbps output to backup movies? Will it effect the audio sync?

:thanks:

x264: no, but framerate isn't a codec-level problem at all. (Even if the elementary stream technically has a framerate.) Look in the containers forum (http://forum.doom9.org/forumdisplay.php?f=74) for advice on doing that, search for VFR or Variable framerate. There are a number of tools to do it in MKV, MP4, or MPG, especially when you use avisynth. (Maybe TS by now.)

Thanks for the info mate.

TS? As in "Thread Starter"? I'm not quite understand. Sorry for my English.
