yuv422p is 16bpp.
(Either your assumption that the input file is 24bpp is wrong 
or there is a bug in FFmpeg reading your sample but I 
consider the bug unlikely if your output file looks remotely 
like the input sample.)

Please provide a very small input file that allows to 
reproduce this.

Your console output does not indicate any duplicated frames.
