Such problems could be avoided if the 2-pass encoding would use the same
trick I used in the two-pass operation of my divtc filter: It stores
a checksum for each frame in the log file and whenever it finds a
mismach on second pass, it resynchronizes by going back or forward
in the log.

Such checksumming on 2-pass encoding would also catch early many kinds
of stupid mistakes like using wrong log file or modifying the filter chain
between passes.
