[MPlayer-users] [BUG] Mencoder crash with vb_strategy=2

[Firon Draak]

I was transcoding an XviD file to an MPEG-1 video and if I use
vb_strategy=2, it crashes with

The instruction at "0x0084d8a0" referenced memory at "0x00000002". The
memory could not be "read".


The console doesn't offer any information, it happens immediately after
printing
Pos:   0.0s      4f ( 0%)  0.00fps Trem:   0min   0mb  A-V:0.011 [0:0]

It manages to writes a few KB to the target file before crashing.

I've tried with various sourcefiles, and with and without sound encoding. I
tried with my own compile (using cpu runtime detection) and with the athlon
and P3 builds obtained from http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer-win32.php. I'm
encoding on Windows 2003 Server with an Athlon XP (if that's relevant).

The command I originally tried was:
mencoder "myvideo.avi" -o "target.m1v" -noskip -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=mpeg1video:vrc
_buf_size=327:vrc_maxrate=1536:vbitrate=1024:mbd=2:trell:cbp:mv0:dia=4:predia=4:preme=2:last_pred=4:vmax_b_frames=2:vb_strategy=2:cmp=6:subcmp=6:precmp=6

I tried simplifying it to make sure the other options weren't causing it:
mencoder "myvideo.avi" -o "target.m1v" -noskip -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=mpeg1video:vrc
_buf_size=327:vrc_maxrate=1536:vbitrate=1024:vmax_b_frames=2:vb_strategy=2

but it still crashes.

If you need any more info, I'll provide it.
