Convert 60 fps to 24 fps

To convert 60 fps to 24 fps, drop frames at a 5 : 2 ratio. The running time and audio stay the same.

How 60 to 24 fps conversion works

Frames are dropped at a regular interval to reach the lower rate. Running time and audio stay the same; motion gets slightly less smooth.

Frame ratio5 : 2
MethodDrop frames
Running timeUnchanged
AudioAudio is copied unchanged (-c:a copy); the running time does not change, so sound stays in sync.
