vc1-fps only matters to VC-1 video streams which your m4v file naturally
isn't.


> The fps is something that is written into the original file?


With video streams that are inside container format (like AVI, MP4, MKV
etc.) the FPS value is usually written to container data. With elementary
stream videos the FPS might be inside the video data or it might not be.

If it is a MP4 file (you can check this with tool called Mediainfo) then
usually remuxing the file fixes the issue (you can remux MP4 files with tool
called MP4box).
