[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 3/4] ffmpeg: with filter_complex, avoid random in<->out mapping.

I think it would be a bad idea: imagine something like that:

	[24fps] [25fps] overlay [out]

The overlay filter is driven by its main input, so it will output 24 fps,
and the overlay will skip a frame and stutter once per second, which may be
acceptable. With your suggestion, the output will be selected at 25 fps, and
thus get another round and stutter with frame duplication.

With an input at 24 and an input at 25, it requires time base = 1/600 and
that is already too much for a container that only supports constant frame
rates.

I believe using the link time base, and letting the user set the frame rate
if necessary is the best option for now.
