That works, thank you so much!

I read up on the -vsync param. It says:
0 = Each frame is passed with its timestamp from the demuxer to the muxer
2 = Frames are passed through with their timestamp or dropped so as to
prevent 2 frames from having the same timestamp.

I tried both 0 and 2 in the quoted ffmpeg above and both seem to generate
the same output in this case. Do they really do the same in my case, or does
one of them have any advantage/disadvantage for me which I'm missing? Should
0 or 2 in theory be faster? In my tests there was no speed (performance)
difference.

Other issue: the output images are fine, however the console text output
mysteriously repeats again so many lines (just as I posted earlier on
today). Any idea why?
