Ok, I thought I read the typoese right, but I wanted to make sure I
understood you.

If external files are banned for logs too, then what's the right way
to deal with filtering that will work best with some knowledge of
coming frames? Looking at vf.h, I guess what I need to do is buffer
the first few frames in put_image, until I have enough to work with,
and implement control so that I can handle buffer flushes. Is this the
right way to go about it? Will the delayed frames mess up the encoder
at all, or will it balance them against the frames that the filter
consumed previously and/or use pts to determine if they should be
dropped?
