### The `“dup-on-gap”` property

      “dup-on-gap”               gboolean

Allow codec to handle frames with GAP flag as duplicates of previous frame. This is good to work with variable frame rate stabilized by videorate element. It will add variable latency with maximal size of keyframe distance, this way it is a bad idea to use with live streams.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: FALSE
