Comment (by bjm):

 janne, could you address this or get ijr's help? Else this ffmpeg update
 will need to be reverted.

 danielk, this 1 minute was a broad scale rather than an avg arrival rate.
 I neglected to mention that the amount of motion affected the frequency. I
 don't use any of the four checkbox encoding options.

 I first saw this on a basketball game where this would happen 2 or more
 times per minute sometimes in clusters of several in a few seconds.
 Stationary scenes rarely has these errors but it dose seem to happen.

 The error in decoding a frame seems to be consistent. When a flash appears
 or a message is logged, you can pause, "<" to go back by seconds before
 the bad frame then "->" (right arrow) to frame advance to the broken
 frame. The message will repeat each time the frame is drawn and the same
 artifacts will appear.

 In a test right now, I had a case where the error message appeared but
 there were no visible artifacts that I could find. However, other frames,
 usually during high motion, can be spectacularly broken.
