Description of the problem

When encoding a VFR material, the final result MKV file has wrong metadata about its frame rate.

Steps to reproduce the problem

Encode any VFR material with:

• Video - frame rate: same as source, variable framerate
• format: MKV

Investigate the meta tag of the file with MediaInfo or similar. This is from MKV:

Frame rate mode                : Constant
Frame rate                     : 23.976 (24000/1001) FPS

This is from MP4:

Frame rate mode                          : Variable
Frame rate                               : 28.840 FPS
Minimum frame rate                       : 19.982 FPS
Maximum frame rate                       : 29.970 FPS

I should note this is only the metatag. The timecodes have the correct timing so playback shouldn't be affected. (Off-topic, it is also weird that bit rates are not reported either in MKV.)
