RipBot264 DVB 50 to 25 fps

[Lowlander]

Hi there,

I have quite a few HDTV recordings to convert to store them on my DLNA server. Those recordings are 720p/50fps, the target format is 720p/25fps. Normally I use Vidcoder to do the conversion, but now I'd like to give RipBot264 a try and its distributed encoding. I've set up the latter without any probs, and it's working like a charm with 5 server instances.

Problem is I can't get RipBot to create a real 25fps file from the 50fps input. I added --fps 25 to the command line in the Encoder Settings section, but that gives me file tagged as 25fps that plays ok, but contains twice as many frames (i.e. the same number than the 50fps input) than a matching Vidcoder encoding. Needless to say that RipBot's file is almost twice as large as Vidcoder's.

I ran both output files through Mediainfo and the ONLY difference I can spot in the encoding settings line is "keyint=500 / keyint_min=50" from RipBot versus "keyint=250 / keyint_min=25" from Vidcoder.

How can I trick RipBot (preferrably from the GUI) into doing the same thing as Vidcoder does just by selecting a constant frame rate of 25 in the video section.

Any hints highly appreciated, I'm pulling my hair here
