All files downloaded from CBC have a consistent audio delay of 33ms. Is something that youtube-dl can fix/adjust on the fly?

Also, some video files are captured with variable frame rates, while others have a set frame rate of 29.97fps. Again, is this something that youtube-dl can fix/adjust on the fly?

Using MkvToMp4, all this can be adjusted and fixed resulting in a usable video file, but it would be good to not have to go through the repair process every time something is downloaded from CBC.

You can use --exec to call arbitrary command line on the final file.
