This typically means your system is too slow for realtime transcoding, 
therefore the input queue fills up after some time. Raising the input 
queue size rarely resolves this. Try using a faster preset or lower 
resolution and make sure the speed indicator in the ffmpeg output does not 
go below 1x even after a few minutes.
