Explain the Pull Request

It seems to be possible to encode with a different framerate than what libOBS is configured for. While technically any framerate appears to be possible, it is currently limited to integer fractions only in order to make the implementation much easier. Integer fractions only require skipping N frames and multiplying the denominator by N, where N is the configured integer. For sanity reasons, the limit of N is currently 10.

This allows power users to split their streaming and recording framerates with relative ease, and opt for things such as:

  • 30 FPS (1/4) streaming with 120 FPS (1/1) recording.
  • 30 FPS (1/10) streaming with 300 FPS (1/1) recording.
  • 30 FPS (1/10) streaming with 100 FPS (1/3) recording.
  • and so on.

While some of these combinations are just stupid, they are now available to power users.
