Snip...

Still nobody knows why I get a floating point error? Ffmpeg uses
libavformat also and it does not SIGFPE. What are the differences in
their lavf use? (Unfortunately Ffmpeg does use vhook and not yet the
same filter architecture than MEncoder. As bttv's interlaced YV12 is
broken, I really must use MEncoder.)
