What do you mean?

Conceptually, think of xvid and lavc as being unable to alter or change 
frames.

When you do -ovc copy, you request that no re-encoding should take 
place, that instead of processing and encoding the frames, they should 
be taken from the original source stream.

Sort of. It's part of the A/V sync based on my very vague understanding 
of it... You can however control manually where in the chain the frames 
get duplicated or dropped, by inserting softskip or harddup into your 
filterchain...

Oh right, so you want:

-vf filter:filter2=suboption,suboption

instead of

-vf filter,filter2=suboption:suboption
