I want to concat two video clips using ffmpeg concat. To use concat demuxer both should have same codec settings. clip2 is much shorter so I want to recode it to match clip1. Initially clip2 had tbn not matching and I adjusted that with '-video_track_timescale 50000'. Still the concat video after the cut into clip2 is garbled (audio seems OK)
This is what ffprobe tells for clip1:

Then for concat :
/home/tools/bin/ffmpeg -f concat -i list.files -y clip12.mp4
The only gap is with clip1 : 2080 kb/s clip2 : 1553 kb/s
Is that significant?
If yes, how to recode clip2 to match and result in concat clip12 being clean ?
EDIT (Per feedback from llogan) :
Probing input clips with latest ffprobe.

Probably need to match audio channel. I noticed that the concat too a long time. I was expecting the concat to just do copying and not re-rendering.
