I use following steps to run mencoder in gdb
1../configure --enable-debug
2.mencoder c:\a.asf -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg1video
-of mpeg -mpegopts format=mpeg1 -ofps 24
It can only transcode 142.6 seconds and then crashes.
3.run it in gdb
gdb mencoder.exe

This GDB was configured as "i686-pc-mingw32"...
(gdb) run c:\a.asf -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg1video
-of mpeg -mpegopts format=mpeg1 -ofps 24
Now it can transcodes *all* frames of the .asf file. It's so
surprising!!! I don't know why!
Any suggestions?  Thank you!
