Thierry,

It might be worth asking this question on the ffmpeg-devel mailing list. If 
you do, make sure you include the full command line and full, uncut console 
output, plus as much detail as possible to reproduce the problem (the way 
you've described it here is probably OK). Note that most developers use Linux 
though, so be prepared to assist with testing any fixes and provide additional 
feedback.

If you know enough to propose a patch it would be welcomed I'm sure. You can 
submit the proposed patch to the ffmpeg-devel mailing list. 

Rodney.
