Hi,
Can someone, please, help to clarify ffmpeg behavior after one of the
recent changes [1]. This commit turns warning into error to prevent
usage of conflicting options. Error printed out is:
“One of -r/-fpsmax was specified together a non-CFR -vsync/-fps_mode.
This is contradictory.”
In our command lines [2] we were using -fps_mode passthrough to make
sure that there is no frame rate conversion/frame dropping which is
desirable for quality benchmarking use case. We did not use -r option
for any transcoding use cases. However, we did use -r for YUV encoding
use cases along with -fps_mode passthrough, i.e. command lines were
looking like:
ffmpeg <...> \
-f rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p -s:v ${w}x${h} -r $framerate -i $yuv \
-c:v h264_qsv <...> -fps_mode passthrough -y $output
Above YUV encoding command line continues to work after [1] without
warnings or errors. My understanding is that in case of YUV -r
specifies a framerate of the input YUV file while for transcoding case
-r actually overrides framerate of the input bitstream and causes frame
rate conversion per se which clearly conflicts with intend of -fps_mode
passthrough which specifies that the frame rate is “passing through”
without conversion. Thus, using -r along with -fps_mode passthrough is
a valid for YUV encoding (since fps_mode will be the only frame rate
conversion being requested), but that’s not a valid combination for
transcoding use cases. Is this interpretation correct?

The option to specify the framerate of a rawvideo input is -framerate:
https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-formats.html#rawvideo
With -r you're telling ffmpeg to overwrite the framerate of the input,
which probably defaults to 24 or something.
And then you also tell it to not mess with the framerate which, as it
correctly points, out is contradictory.
