We've encountered something similar when transcoding FFV1 over the
network. So we used framemd5 not to verify FFV1's losslessness, but to
validate that the transcoding goes error-free :)
FFmpeg's framemd5 became *the* feature for professional video preservation.

So, thanks again for all your great work here!
