[MEncoder-users] ffvhuff: encoded frame too large

[infernix]

Hi,

I'm encoding to a large resolution ffvhuff file (source is 1920x1040) 
and am occasionally getting this message from mencoder:

[ffvhuff @ 0x8847980]encoded frame too large

I am using:

mencoder -oac pcm -nosound -o $OUTFILE.huffyuv.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts 
vcodec=ffvhuff:vstrict=-1:pred=2:context=1 $INFILE

I've watched the huffyuv output file closely and couldn't really detect 
any problems with it at first glance.

Does anyone know what happens to a frame when this error occurs? Does it 
get discarded? Is it because I'm encoding to avi?

And if it is a problem (e.g. it gets discarded), what would be a proper 
solution? A different container perhaps?

Thanks!

Regards,
