Code:

DirectShowSource(..., fps=23.976, convertfps=true)

Had a VFR video and the above worked, though it was MKV.
Haven't tried the dodgey AVI yet though.

Yeah, copying timecodes across.

Well, converting to CFR is fine, except it won't look as nice. If you decimate or add some frames, then it won't play as smooth (missing and/or duplicate frames will cause jitter), Just keeping the VFR should give you the smoothest result.

But yeah, if you don't really care about slight unsmoothness, then it's easier to simply make it into a CBR.

And if you plan on encoding to something non MKV, (like AVI or MP4), making a VFR file is kinda annoying, and takes a few more steps.

Shouldn't just assume 23.976 every time though. I mean if it's 80% 29.97, and 20% 23.976, I would go fps=29.97.
