Umm, I think so:

Open movie for encode and playback (or stream)

for each source movie frame {
    pass to display function
    encode and pass to movie for saving

    if (lastFrame) {
        finalizeMovie
        switch to playback mode
     }
} while !lastFrame

for each frame on disk (allowing seek and shuttle now) {
     pass to display function
}

Sorta.

It's that changeover, and making it quick and clean I'm wondering about. 
Whether I should just treat it, from an ffmpeg point of view, as a completely 
separate step. Since all the movie details are already know in the encoding, I 
was wondering if I could use that.
