I have an h264/vorbis video at 1k fps and want to convert it to mpeg2/ac3 at 30 fps. If I don't use the fps filter ffmpeg appears to automatically convert the output to 30 fps (which I assume is the default -r value), but the following warnings are displayed:

  More than 1000 frames duplicated
  More than 10000 frames duplicated

If I use the fps filter (fps=fps=30), then those warnings are not displayed and there's no indication of duplicated (or dropped) frames... although I assume there must have been.

I can't see any obvious difference between the 2 output files (although I haven't watched both completely through), so I'm just curious if there IS any appreciable difference for this video.

Is there any advantage (or disadvantage) to using the fps filter vs the -r option in this particular case?

Here's full output for both commands:
