Body: <p>I have a video file say <code>input.mp4</code> and I would like to loop this file say 6 times
  The following command does the job</p>
  <pre><code>ffmpeg -stream_loop 5 -i input.mp4  -c copy out.mp4
  </code></pre>
  <p>However, the result is a shaky video. It plays the <code>input.mp4</code> first time without any problem and then it adds a few milliseconds before playing it the second time. And the third time and so on. The second iteration onwards, the video looks shaky and not as clear as the first time.</p>
  <p>Am I using the command/option wrong ?
  Any hints would be appreciated.</p>
  <p>I looked at <a href="https://video.stackexchange.com/questions/21759/why-does-ffmpegs-stream-loop-option-add-a-pause">this question</a> but it did not help</p>

  I have a video file say `input.mp4` and I would like to loop this file say 6 times
  The following command does the job
  
  ```
  ffmpeg -stream_loop 5 -i input.mp4  -c copy out.mp4
  
  ```
  
  However, the result is a shaky video. It plays the `input.mp4` first time without any problem and then it adds a few milliseconds before playing it the second time. And the third time and so on. The second iteration onwards, the video looks shaky and not as clear as the first time.
