Use -vsync 0 to avoid the duplicates.

The default for yuv is 25fps, 1k would allow correct playback 
(but your hardware will not support it).

Generally, you cannot test fps or A/V sync with a yuv file.

It may help to find a solution for your problem (assuming you 
have one) if you describe your use case: I find it unlikely 
that your usecase is to output rawvideo files, or is it?
