It depends on the output format and I suspect it also depends on sync implementation that can change without real notice. Allow me to repeat that the true problem is that you may not notice issues: Encoding succeeds but the quantizers are incorrectly dsitributed (starting from the second frame). You only get the crash if you are lucky.
