Dear Richard,

I respectfully disagree. Please, see comment https://developer.blender.org/T54655#494818 where I have transcoded a file to have audio of exact same length as video, and the import into Blender still failed. And yet it works completely fine in an old version.

@Olly Funkster (Funkster) If you read the info I have provided above, this doesn't add up. Blender does everything correctly in previous versions, and so do Kdenlive and even OpenShot.

Okay, so I just took the test video which I supplied, used Handbrake to convert it to 30 constant fps. Now Codec info says exactly 30 fps.

Stephen, this is all fine, but somehow Blender 2.76b was doing it correctly, without requiring me to use Handbrake or any other converter.

I am not sure how is this possible, unless this is really how all cameras and videos in general work. And somehow Blender 2.76b does everything correctly, whereas the "correct" frame rate of later versions results in audio and video being out of sync.
