Well I tried Gspot and I couldn't find where it showed it it was a constant or variable frame rate. All it said was 30 fps (but it should be 29.97). So I tried Media Inspector and it also said "Frame rate mode: variable". It went into more detail and said minimum frame rate 29.970 fps and maximum frame rate: 30.00fps. I also tried the file I transcoded with Apple Compressor with Media Inspector and it read "Frame rate mode: Constant." So two codec readers, MediaInfo and Media Inspector, read that it is a variable frame rate coming from Adobe Media Encoder. The obvious answer will be, well then use Compressor, thing is I don't care for it otherwise and would much rather use Media Encoder if I can solve this issue.
