This is expected for an elementary stream; a muxer is required to gain instant access to such a value. Otherwise, the full elementary stream has to be parsed from end to end which means some delay and performance issues.

>and fps is now 30 fps. It it possible to retain the original FPS?   Cheers,   Bruce
Probing an elementary stream is usually the best way, the most reliable to get such a value. I think it is correct here.
I think your MP4 input looks suspicious with "15 fps / 60 tbc".
