[matroska,webm @ 003f8c80] Estimating duration from bitrate, this may be inaccurate

Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: 47.95 (5000000/104271) -> 23.98 (24000/1001)
Input #0, matroska,webm, from 'D:\TV shows\ghost in the shell\Ghost in the Shell S.A.C. 2nd GIG E01.mkv':
  Duration: 00:24:32.22, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 384 kb/s
    Stream #0.0: Video: h264 (High), yuv420p, 1920x1080 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 23.98 fps, 23.98 tbr, 1k tbn, 47.95 tbc (default)
    Stream #0.1: Audio: ac3, 44100 Hz, 5.1(side), s16, 384 kb/s (default)
At least one output file must be specified


---> DB Level Info: 41, 100
