I think the problem is that you are not using the encoding interface
properly. After you send a frame with avcodec_send_frame, you should loop
on the result of avcodec_receive_packet until it returns AVERROR_AGAIN.
Also, when you are out of frames to encode, you need to call
avcodec_send_frame once more with a NULL frame pointer to put the encoder
in draining mode, then receive as usual. See the ffmpeg docs at
https://ffmpeg.org/doxygen/4.0/group__lavc__encdec.html for further details.
