[MEncoder-users] non-interleaved mode

[Troy Perkins]

When encoding an mpeg-2 combined vob file I'm getting the following message
at about 80% on the second pass.

 

Too many video packets in the buffer: (4096 in 82734543 bytes).

Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed?

For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.

 

This keeps repeating..

 

Should I kill the encode?  What is causing this?  I've seen it before and
wondered.

 

Thanks!

Troy

PS sorry to be so vague, here is more info:

also, I check the output avi file and its still growing.  I was curious as
to whether this run is screwed and I should kill it and examine.
