Not exactly. The -report file has always saved all messages at all levels,
up to debug. What has changed is that consistency checks for timestamps have
been added, with warnings when things do not match. Still, there is
something wrong, either in your files or in the demuxer; and even if it is
in the file, if it is a common occurrence, it is worth working around, so a
sample is welcome.

That is true, but counting frames that are sent to that framecrc
pseudo-encoder, and with the "-r 1" option, that makes one frame per second.
But they are video-time seconds, not real-time seconds: if your encoding is
very slow (x264 with high quality maybe), you may want to raise the value
after -r, or even remove it completely; if your encoding is very fast, you
may want to lower the value.

I would not advise to use a real file for that. On Unix, a pipe, or possibly
a socket, would be the preferred method. On windows, I do not know what
makes the corresponding API.
