Marcus,

It doesn't help with this particular issue as the whole input would still
need to be encoded not copied. I have a pseudo solution in adding the
watermark to the beginning/end of a file using -ss & -t and then
concatenating the -vcodec copy output.

I do however have another requirement and the -c flag will come in handy for
that. The only other addition I would like to see is another flag to
indicate the start frame. i.e. "apply watermark to -c frames starting at
frame -s"

Regards,

Chris
