Comment (by benoit_friry):

 There was no limit on memory... But on cpu time!
 {{{

 }}}

 Setting the cpu time to "unlimited" makes it possible to encode correctly
 the full video.

 The flaw was between the keyboard and the seat.

 Unfortunately, the kill is not verbose when set hard.

 {{{
 $ ulimit -S -t 1
 $ bash
 $ while true; do foo=$(( foo + 1 )); done
 zsh: cpu limit exceeded  bash
 $ ulimit -H -t 1
 $ bash
 $ while true; do foo=$(( foo + 1 )); done
 zsh: killed     bash
 }}}

 Sorry for the noise, and many thanks for your help.

 This ticket can be closed. (I cannot close it myself.)
