I imagine for best compression I could buffer up frames and run the
filter in the first frame, then first + second, on and on, until the
filter no longer provides a good approximation, then encode the
packets up to that point and return them. Is this a good idea, and if
it is, what's the best way to buffer the frames in a way that doesn't
mess up sync?
