Hey,

That's at least a surprising argumentation given the number of encoders

Did I miss something? For me the relevant codecs I know for intermediate work are ProRes, DNxHR and Cineform with the later being seldomly used but the only open standard and as I recently found out supported in Resolve for some time now so as my main target is Resolve it seems worth giving it a try. ProRes and DNxHR are both proprietary with only reverse engineered codecs available.

   - Bit rate is just the value from one sample and depends very much on
the input resolution, I think the value is from a 4K sample file. Does
this really matter? The value reported from "ffmpeg -i testout.mov" is
completely different anyway, I assume it is calculated when calling
"av_write_trailer"?

And is the written value correct?
Looking at my example with just below 800 KB per frame and 5 frames written (at 120fps) and calculating it it makes sense. Also after retime without reencoding to 5 fps it matches the file size. Was just wondering if this is something one has to take care of or if it will be done by libav based on actual data?

2. Correct frame rate/time base settings. Tried several examples, tried
replicating what I extracted from them and made of the documentation
regarding libav I found about this topic but as the link below (ffmpeg
-i output) shows, the framerate is always wrong. Had combinations of
parameters where I had clips with 16k fps etc.

You have to read back the actual timebase used by the muxer (can
be different than the one you requested) and calculate the timestamps
accordingly.
Is there a good introduction how to correctly set time bases and calculate frame numbers/timecodes from it?

Whatever I change I get different frame rates but never what I intend like in this example 24fps. (This shall be variable later on but would be nice to at least understand it)

So basically I have an input like frame_rate (in integer for simplicity, don't care about the crazy 23.98 and other strange rates), a frame number from 0 to NUM_FRAMES-1 and ideally a start time input -> How to set the correct time base/rates and calculate the frame dts/pts?
