And if I don't create the MP4 at all - but encode on fly? This means I
don't have any format per se, but just A/V streams.

Are these streams timed by timestamps, or by the set frame rate on
stream opening?

I meant that ffmpeg suggests timestamps based on set frame rate, but
they can be changed freely?

And if the source frame rate changes, we have a problem here as we
can't change the sent timestamps to work according to source frames,
because of the fixed frame rate set. Am I correct?
