i've downsized some VFR video. i extracted the original timecodes with mkvextract and am trying to apply them to the new video in mkvmerge, but when i do so the time doubles from 24:44 to 49:29 (thought it only plays to 24:44). i also get the warning "track 1: The number of external timecodes 36950 is smaller than the number of frames in this track. The remaining frames of this track might not be timestamped the way you intended them to be. mkvmerge might even crash."

what am i doing wrong? :)

ok, i guess that only magically worked on one video. still having the same problem on others. why does vfr have to be so complex, heh.
