[MEncoder-users] Frequent error

[Ross Clement]

I keep on getting this error. What causes it?

mencoder: ratecontrol.c:698: ff_rate_estimate_qscale: Assertion
`picture_number<rcc->num_entries' failed.

Here's a sample .bash script which causes this error to occur.

#!/bin/bash

mencoder birt*.avi -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd:tsaf -ovc lavc -oac
lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_maxrate=9800:vbitrate=5000:keyint=15:vstrict=0:acodec=ac3:vpass=1:aspect=4/3:ildct:ilme:top=0
