SUMMARY
Whenver a new clip is selected to be used in a video project, kdenlive will show a window that says that the coding for the clip is not usable for the project, and that the encoding for the clip needs to be changed. It also mentions that the clip uses a variable frame rate, which is not actually the case (both the clip and the project are 25 fps). In the past, on older versions of kdenlive, this wasn't an issue. After kdenlive finishes changing the encoding of the clip, the same window will reappear asking to change the encoding again, creating an infinite loop of kdenlive changing the encoding of the clip, and making a new copy of the previous clip each time. Whether this loop happens or not is very infrequent.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open up kdenlive
2. go to "adding a clip or folder" in the project-bin and select a clip. 
3. Kdenlive will show a message saying that request to change the encoding, because the clip has a variable framerate (which is not the case). Click 
4. sometimes, after Kdenlive is done changing the encoding, it will ask to change the encoding again.
Note: if you select

OBSERVED RESULT
Sometimes the clip will be usable after the encoding is changed by kdenlive, and sometimes the window asking to change the encoding will show again.

EXPECTED RESULT
The expected result would be that a clip can just be selected, without having to change the encoding
