43k images × ffprobe process launch = 30-90 min before encoding starts.
Every corrupt file seen in practice has been 0-byte (caught instantly by
[ ! -s ]).  Non-zero corrupt files are rare; if ffmpeg hits one the
existing drift warning flags the short output.  Removing ffprobe restores
the fast path: one stat() call per image.
