Okay. I'll explain. When I tried
ffmpeg -i "concat:c:\1.mp4|2.mp4 .."
and that failed on "duplicate MOOV Atom", I converted the MP4s, 1: to
MKVs, and 2: to MPEGs, and 3: to VOBs, and repeated with each of them.
In one of them I got "buffer underflow".

I woke up this morning -- I'm in the US -- asking myself, "buffer
underflow? How is that possible?" I don't remember which of the
concats: MKVs or MPEGs or VOBs, did that. So, I don't have a log. A
log should not be required to ask: "How is a buffer underflow possible
when it's not a real time process?"
