OK as is, then.

In fact, the time zone can get really important when correlating information from multiple log files (e.g. ffmpeg + application). For this, we are printing the full date with time zone just once at the top of the logs and let ffmpeg print the time only. The date occupies a lot of horizontal screen estate which is inconvenient for manual review and largely redundant anyway. The only corner case would be a long-running process where ffmpeg doesn't print a single log line for a whole day - in that case, the time-only output would become ambiguous..
