Thanks that worked. With ffv1 version 1.3 and -slices 4 I'm getting 81 fps encoding whereas version 1.0 on the same content gave 31 fps.
On my Mac files encoded with ffv1 version 1.3 cause crashes with the latest releases of QuickTime with Perian, VLC, and but works with with ffplay when the version of ffv1.c is set to 0 or to 3.

So far with sampling various source content at various bits I've found that both the resulting ffv1 version 1 and version 3 produce the same framemd5s.

In ffv1.c I noticed that a CRC mismatch warning could be given but wasn't able to find a situation to actually produce this warning.
