Hi,
from some quick tests it looks a problem related to transcoding, so
not necessarily libavfilter-specific.

BTW if you want to integrate the filter into FFmpeg you're welcome to
post it on ffmpeg-devel, I see there are some simplifications which
can be done.

One minute of video silence with ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -t 60 -s qcif -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb24 -r 25 -i /dev/zero \
    -y silence.mpeg
