This should only happen for some input formats.
-nocorrect-pts should for example avoid it.

Since we are encoding I-only, passing on the pts is probably correct.
However this really shouldn't cause things to fail completely,
MPlayer is supposed to fall back to fps-based timing for example.
But unless someone with the right hardware has time to debug further
that will probably remain a mystery.

Remembered it again or do you need me to apply?
Or we can solve the password problem if you see a chance of needing
it more often again :-)
