[MPlayer-users] bug? which leads to vo/encoder reinit during playback / transcode

[Stefan Seyfried]

Hi,

i found a dvd which causes some strange behaviour during transcoding
and viewing:
when viewing, the vo seems to be reinitialized every now and then and i
get something like that on the console:

When transcoding, almost the same happens:

and so on.

commandline is:

LAVC="vcodec=mpeg4:vme=4:cmp=2:precmp=2:subcmp=2:dia=1:predia=1:vmax_b_frames=0:mbd=2:mv0:v4mv:vbitrate=724"
SCALE="-vf crop=712:432,scale=640:272,dsize=640:272" 
time mencoder -ovc lavc -lavcopts $LAVC:vpass=1 \
         -nosound $SCALE \
         -o ${N}_video1.avi stream.dump

and the same with vpass=2

The problem is, that with every time the encoder is reinitialized, it gives
a "visual  burp", like a missed keyframe or something like that.
a sample of the stream.dump is in 
ftp.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/incoming/stream-which-leads-to-encoder-reinit
I also put up a sample of the transcoded part as well.

I tried to recode the same stream with avidemux2 but it segfaulted after
the first pass :-) so there is no comparison. It does not matter if i rip
it directly from the dvd or from stream.dump. Also, dumping the dvd with
transcode shows the same behaviour.
