title: With ffmpeg, trying to change a container from Mpeg TS to MP4, fps became twice of Mpeg TS
body: <p>I got a Mpeg TS file from a capture board to make a DEMO video clip.</p>
  
  <p>Here is information of the file from ffmpeg;</p>
  
  <pre><code>Stream #0:0[0x51]: Video: h264 (High) ([27][0][0][0] / 0x001B), yuv420p, 1920x1080 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 29.97 fps, 59.94 tbr, 90k tbn, 59.94 tbc
  Stream #0:1[0x61]: Audio: mp2 ([3][0][0][0] / 0x0003), 48000 Hz, stereo, s16p, 224 kb/s
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, I cannot edit it in FCP X, so I tried to change just its container TS to MP4 with ffmpeg using the below command.</p>
  
  <pre><code>ffmpeg -i input.ts -vcodec copy -acodec copy output.mp4
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After doing it, fps of output.mp4 became 59.94 fps and information is like below;</p>
  
  <pre><code>Stream #0:0(und): Video: h264 (High) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuv420p, 1920x1080 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 1750 kb/s, 59.94 fps, 59.94 tbr, 90k tbn, 59.94 tbc
  Stream #0:1(und): Audio: mp2 (mp4a / 0x6134706D), 48000 Hz, stereo, s16p, 224 kb/s
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Fps is not same.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to keep same fps as TS with just copy option to change a container?</p>
  
  <p>I am wondering whether just re-encoding is solution or not.</p>
  
  <p>/////</p>
  
  <p>Full logs;</p>
