So, I record various TV programs using my DVB-T2 receiver in .ts format. These original videos AFAIK have constant frame rate (25 fps - standard european broadcast framerate) or at least MediaInfo and programs like Premiere say so.
Then I remove unnecessary stuff with Videoredo and finally remux into .mp4 (a format supported by everything, including Premiere for possible further editing down the road).
Once I open pretty much any of those .mp4 videos with Premiere though, they appear choppy, frames are being repeated 2 anda 3 times and I get audio/video sync problems. Checking the sequence settings (set by the videos) or the video properties seem to reveal why is that but not what causes it: the reported framerate is a random number like 30.05 fps and a “variable framerate detected” apears. So do these new videos have VFR? I initially thought they don't, since MediaInfo doesn't report so. However, I am reading MediaInfo could report false negatives and after testing doing this it seems they have VFR indeed. I've also tried opening them with another video editor (Shotcut) and it reports VFR too so it i really doesn't seem like a Premiere quirk. So, what’s going on?
Does Videoredo change the (seemingly) CFR of the original ts. recordings into VFR for some reason? I've read several times in here that the program doesn't even support VFR, so I am pretty puzzled. Interestingly enough, If while trimming the videos I remux them into new .ts files (rather than .mp4) they play fine in Premiere and no VFR is being reported. Same goes if I drop the mp4 video back to Videoredo and remux back to .ts. Does anyone have any idea what's going on and how could I get mp4 videos without that problem? Without transcoding them of course, that would cancel the whole point of lossless trimming which is the point of using Videoredo in the first place. Thanks a lot.

Things I've tried:
- Remuxing to mp4 before I trim stuff.
- Quickstream fix.
- Updating video card driver.
- Updating Premiere and asking in several Premiere communities to make sure it's not a bug. As I've said the same thing happens if I open the mp4 video with another editor too anyway.
- Using the latest Videoredo version.
