(Note that the command line does not work the way you intend 
it to work, output options have to be placed in front of the 
output files.)

Complete, uncut console output missing.

I suspect your input cannot deliver frames with a constant 
frame rate (you can check with -debug_ts), the image2 muxer 
does not support variable frame rate and has to duplicate

(This is of course guessing, console output will tell.)
