Just encoding a mpg file and very near the end of the second pass it spewed out
the above. Script i used to encode file follows. The file i was encoding was the
simpsons s14e20 which can be grabbed from torrent or elsewhere i'm sure. Any
ideas or is it just a ffmpeg bug?

#!/bin/bash

while [ $# -ge 1 ]; do
	F="$1"
	shift
	rm -f divx2pass.log
	mencoder -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vhq:vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=400:vpass=1 -o /dev/null "$F"
	mencoder -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc -lameopts preset=standard -lavcopts vhq:vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=400:vpass=2 -o "new.$F" "$F"
done
