Why does Compressor not allow MPEG-2 encoding at 30 or 60 fps?

The MPEG-2 standard supports 8 different frame rates:


  • 23.976
  • 24
  • 25
  • 29.97
  • 30
  • 50
  • 59.94
  • 60


However in Compressor, encoding to MPEG-2 does not permit encoding at 30 or 60 fps, only the remaining six frame rates.


WHY?

Mac mini, macOS 15.5
