Some video encoders don't include frame rate information in stream metadata (SPS NAL unit VUI data and SDP data). In Wowza Streaming Engine™ media server software, the Transcoder needs proper frame rate information to configure encoding sessions. When frame rate information isn't available, Transcoder assumes the frame rate is 29.97 frames per second. When this happens, you'll see the following log statement:
Transcoder uses the frame rate to properly encode the stream based on the target bitrate. If the frame rate isn't correct, the bitrate of the encoded video is either too high or too low.
To adjust the default source frame rate to match your stream's frame rate, add the following property to the <Properties> container at the bottom of the Transcoder template you're using, and set the value to the correct frame rate:
<Property>
<Name>sourceStreamFrameRate</Name>
<Value>30</Value>
<Type>Double</Type>
</Property>
