That's too hard on me, I need help.

Actually I do need help but not with this :p.

Well I am just slightly amazed but I have the same result (with 
mplayer).

VLC still duplicates the frame.

Pitivi (probably using gstreamer to play it) also duplicates the frame.

So the issue is not in the rendering but in the player!!!! :@.

Alright that's stupid isn't it.

I'm not sure whether I've been stupid or the programs....

Thank you for checking in any case.... I'm sorry. If I'm an ass 
sometimes :p.

You're good that way :D.

Yeah...

What other players should I try. DragonPlayer is too stupid to exist and 
I cannot access any Windows tools right now, and possibly I would use 
VLC there anyway.

If your player starts inserting frames it means its actually framerate 
is either going to be higher, or the video will play longer.

They said films were often recorded in 24fps, when played on 25fps 
devices I think they would stretch it and the speed would go up and the 
pitch of the audio, shortening the film. But that requires actual 
playback to be of a higher fps.

In that case there would be no frame duplication or anything, just 
frames playing too fast. To do it right they would have to duplicate 
every 24th frame.

But that's probably impossible with audio or something, don't know.


BASICALLY:

input is 264, from YT, doesn't show artifact in VLC
output is 264, does show artefact in VLC
difference is new keyframe right before the duplicated frame?


Cheers I guess.
