[MEncoder-users] Getting bad video or crash

[Andrew Berg]

I'm trying to convert a DVD, and this particular one either causes
MEncoder to crash or output bad video (usually the latter). I keep
getting a message (it's displayed thousands of times) that says
"[mpeg2video @ 00D9A434]MPEG motion vector out of boundary" among other
things when I tell it to be more verbose. I don't know exactly what it
means, but it's probably the reason I can't convert. MPlayer can play it
just fine, however.

I've been doing a few DVDs with these settings, and this is the first
time I've run into this kind of problem.
