Comment (by ffmpegreport):

 Replying to [comment:1 heleppkes]:
 > There is no way to know the original TS file actually is CFR (other than
 parsing the entire file and reading every timestamp), so any file
 converted from TS should assume to be VFR.
 >
 > In fact, preserving the exact timestamps as present in the TS file is
 the goal, and not re-interpretation to set some arbitrary CFR flag in some
 other container. I believe ffmpeg has features to overwrite the timestamp
 behavior of that is so desired.

 If the source the CBR, the outfile should be CBR. Assuming a file to be
 VFR is unnecessary and produces false-positives. It seems obvious the
 proper approach would be to parse the file, even if that slows the process
 down at all. Accuracy and correct outfiles should trump assumptions.
