Robin,

Those messages are considered errors by libav*, so they're reported 
(since changes for #6729) at the general level of verbosity.  The MythTV 
default verbosity is -v important,general .  Because errors should be 
reported in default verbosity, libav* errors will likely remain at 
general verbose level.  So, if you don't want to see them, you'll need 
to run at -v important (or, whatever verbosity that doesn't include 
general).
