this only works when codecs use the frame or field rate as basis for
their timebase

With some codecs that is syntactically not even possible
MPEG4 (ISO/IEC 14496-2) stores its timebase as 1/N not M/N for vfr
with for example 30000/1001 that would be different (1/30000) than the
frame rate (30000/1001) (which may be variable)
