Transcoding is generally when you go from one video codec to another, i.e., MPEG-2 to H.264, or H.264 to H.265. This requires a re-encoding, which you are calling a rerender.

Keep in mind that changing frame rates also requires a re-encoding. There is no way around that. You can't just "drop" frames in a 59.94 fps video to get to 29.97 fps. That isn't the way digital video works.
I THINK, if I understand this correctly, that in the past I've just left the video at 59.94 (I can't remember exactly what I did to 'double' the rate - IDK if it had something to do with it being interlaced or something...) Anyway, the 'doubled' rate at 59.94 looked a LOT better than when I tried to convert it to, what, 23.xx, I don't remember. But, since my player simply played the 59.94 perfectly fine 'as is', I just left it.

Now, you were saying that you cannot change the frame rate without re-encoding. How then does TSMuxer allow you to change the frame rate for the video track when it is simply remuxing the file...? Many times I get 'a hold of' an MKV file where when I drop it into TSMuxer it shows an improper frame rate of 90,000 fps (or something like that) I just choose the correct fps from the drop down menu. I can choose 24,000/0001, 24, 25, 30, 30,000/0001 if I remember correctly, and when I remux it, the actual frame rate DOES change to whatever I've chosen. So, if it is the wrong one, the A/V sync will be off.

How can it do this without re-encoding?
