Nevermind that repeat flags are likely to trip up decoders and/or muxers, as you basically generate a VFR bitstream.
All-skip frame is way more expensive than changing a pic_struct value.
The reason for doing such a weird VFR is that the same mechanism used for 3:2 pulldown and 24->60p conversion is used here.
