[MPlayer-users] mencoder segfaults with lavc

[Philippe Combes]

Hi all,

I have a high-quality ffmpeg file that I want to encode with lavc codec.
I use the following commands:

mencoder big_file.avi -o frameno.avi -ovc frameno -oac copy
mencoder big_file.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=870:vpass=1

Similar commands worked well last summer, before I updated my Linux 
Debian unstable. Now, it seems broken: a segfault occurs when opening 
the libavc.

Is it a known bug of the latest libavc ?
Or of mencoder ?

Thanks in advance for any help
