Carl Eugene, sorry I should have expressed myself better. ffmpeg
stopped, there was no kernel crash.

It should be reproducible, because it happens on a couple of channels
when there is a change from [SAR 64:45 DAR 16:9] to [SAR 16:15 DAR 4:3]
and back. I tested without HW acceleration (decoding + encoding) and it
worked without stopping on a change. I presume the problem will gone
away when I drop HW decoding like Dennis suggested. I will report back.
Thou I am still interested in a solution as dropping HW decoding will
induce a high penalty on CPU.

Thanks.
