I notice the converted video paused here and there when played back with
VLC. The sound still continuing, but the picture freezes, sometimes 2 or 3
seconds, sometimes even nearly 10 seconds. It happened 3 or 4 times in the
3-minute clip that I tested. 

Is the pausing related with the buffer underflow, or it is a separate
issue entirely.
