Comment (by Gyan):

 In theory, one could

 1) allow the user to set a trailer size threshold in % terms, or use a
 hardcoded value.

 2) write_packet could abort if current output size + pkt.size + above
 trailer estimate exceeds the fs limit.

 One complication would be missing interim frames for video streams with
 delay. But that could perhaps be ameliorated by taking into account
 video_delay from the stream's codecpar.
