Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ffmpeg

libvpx will drop frames by default (without the user to notice) when the
bitrate is set too low.

You can recreate this bug by simply invoking
  ffmpeg -i someDVD.vob test.webm
and analyzing the resulting webm file by 
 mkvinfo -v test.webm | fgrep "Track Nummer 1" | less
usually the frame dropping starts around 14s. This can cumulate in a file which 
contains every (second) frame as a key frame. 

The following web page contains information about the problem and hints to the 
fixing commit:

The following upstream patch fixes this (and came after the 0.6 release)
http://git.ffmpeg.org/?p=ffmpeg;a=commitdiff;h=b82e38a409e329718c256f25ac25da0222790b24;hp=a8d597ab7b8dcdc1bb22e6ba4115e99eee7e50ad

I consider this bug critical to the reputation of webm if ffmpeg is used
naively.
