[MPlayer-users] lavf Seg Fault

[Larry Reznick]

I have been able to put previously encoded video and audio into MOV 
containers using the following syntax:

mencoder -ovc copy -oac copy input.avi -of lavf -ofps 50 -o output.mov

This has worked fine for months. Other players have been able to play them.

I typically run an SVN update every Monday. Yesterday's update seg 
faulted. I ran another update today, and it seg faulted, too. This has 
to have broken within the last week because it ran ok before my update 
on Monday.

The sample clip has no audio, so there's no trouble there. The video has 
no B-frames. Here is the verbose output if you can help. Thanks.

REMEMBER: MEncoder's libavformat muxing is presently broken and can generate
INCORRECT files in the presence of B frames. Moreover, due to bugs MPlayer
will play these INCORRECT files as if nothing were wrong!
