showinfo operates upon decoded frames. This inspection will have to be 
done at the container level using a forensic tool which can identify 
start and end of block structures in Matroska. This assumes that the two 
write operations didn't write on top of each other. One saving grace 
could be that OBS, like ffmpeg, flushes data to files in blocks of 256 
kB, although I don't know if this is the case.
