Didn't I separate the patch that moves the code around?.. This has already 
been commited by reynaldo.
Most of the changes in the patch that's left is wrapping a lot of existing 
code around if's.

Well the things I tested were mostly direct stream copy AVI merging and 
re-encodes of AVI-merging. I tried AVI file sources and MPEG file sources, 
everything passed with flying colors. Haven't tested -of rawvideo and -of 
mpeg1video ... mpeg1video segfaults for me usually anyway.

The only change made to single-file encoding is that -endpos is compared 
against mux_v->timer instead of sh_video->timer. It matters in cases of 
variable FPS and skipped/duplicate frames, instead of for ex. 50 seconds of 
source will be encoded, then 50 seconds of output will be encoded, which 
might be a little more or a little less than 50 seconds of source. Other than 
that, there is no possible change to single file encoding.
