[MPlayer-users] mencoder bus error

[Gina Capodanno]

can someone help me figure out this error message?

VDec: vo config request - 720 x 480 (preferred csp: Planar YV12) 
[1170:128]
VDec: using Planar YV12 as output csp (no 0)
Movie-Aspect is 1.78:1 - prescaling to correct movie aspect.
videocodec: libavcodec (718x468 fourcc=58564944 [XVID])
get_buffer() failed (0 -6987 0 0x1a8cf10)
Bus error

it seems to only occur when i rip an entire movie or just the last 
couple of chapters. i have seen other posts describing this same 
problem, but no clues as to what (probably simple) solution there is. i 
only recently started getting this error message (~ 3 months ago) even 
though i had been using mencoder for much longer than that.

after ripping i can still play the movie in using some players - 
mplayer and vlc are okay - but quicktime freaks out and says there is 
an error in the file and won't open it. when i rebuild the index i only 
get audio back.

any ideas?
