You should use -vo yuv4mpeg. -vo png is a bad choice because your
video will get converted to rgb, which implies extra filtering.

I think you're misstating what you mean. You don't necessarily want
constant framerate, you want every frame from the source video. You'll
always get this unless you use -framedrop (mplayer's stupidest
option).
