 Latest nvenc version have support for b-pyramid type of encoding, with
 option -b_ref_mode middle. When using this option, default log level is
 full of the following type of messages:
 {{{

 which keep running all the time. They are also shown with -loglevel
 warning and they do not show with -loglevel error and below. Output
 transcoded video seems to be OK.

 How to reproduce:

 Options -refs 4 -bf 3 are used in order to enable support for b_ref_mode
 middle - minimum values for it to work is -refs 3 -bf 2.

 The ticket is opened because nvenc ffmpeg code or nvenc library from
 nvidia should either not produce bad timestamps that make ffmpeg report
 them or, since it doesn't affect output, ffmpeg should not report it so
 heavily.
