#11532: Raw bitstream export/import makes video stuttery

Summary of the bug:
Trying to export and import a raw h.264 bitstream as described in
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/How%20to%20speed%20up%20/%20slow%20down%20a%20video#rawbitstreammethod
makes the video extremely stuttery when viewing it in a browser. The
resulting file plays fine when viewing in mpv or VLC, but if I play it in
Firefox it looks like it's running at 5 FPS or something and if I play it
in Chrome it jitters back and forth like the frames are played out of
order.
How to reproduce:
