Quite a few frames are being repeated, for whatever reason.  If I
extract the video elementary stream and try to decode it alone, the
first two frames output are the same.  The third output frame is the
same as frame number 1999 (!) when decoding the MPEG file, which then
is the 1344th unique frame to be written.

Something strange is certainly going on here.  The Mainconcept
encoders are usually good (v2.0 and up, v1.x suck), so I'd be
surprised if the file is at fault.
