However the downside of this method is that the audio now overruns the end of the picture further and is not trimmed from remaining samples I’m guessing. This results in a blank video frame being added to the tail of clip. ffprobe for ffmpeg_v3 attached.

Same result for me as before - the last packet is too large (1056) and is not being trimmed, so a black frame occurs at the end on playback.
When you say it works for you, was that with a Quicktime based decoder?
