Just to check, you mean the container header and not the h.264 stream
header?

If so, we would only use container header if tb_unreliable() is true and
the first few timestamps match it, right?

However, in this case the h.264 header has the correct fps as well,
though, so wouldn't it be better if we used that if it seems to match,
so that it would work for non-mkv as well?


For the record, the value derived from h.264 header is 24000/1001
(~23.976024), while a value derived from the container header is
1710843747/71356439 (~23.976025) (interestingly, mkv header has
41708332ns while 24000/1001 would be 41708333.33...ns). I guess the
difference is small enough, though.
