Nice explanation.

I have found, when experimenting that I often get a single

"[mpeg2video @ 0x17f79c0] rc buffer underflow" at the start of coding, 
but then no further errors.

Is that cause for concern, and indicative of too small a buffer, or just 
a singularity as the system gets going?

Files seem to play OK.
