The dup/drop code is active in the absence of output `-r` if the output 
format is not VFR flagged.

Then the dup/drop count is useful to diagnose an abnormally large frame 
rate detected in the input stream,
such as a WebM with a 1k tbr or a cover image with a 90k tbr.
More mundanely,  one can check the 'CFR'-ness of a stream by looking at 
those counts, especially if lavfi is not present.
