i checked the latest svn, some parts got extracted to an extra file
(avc.c was that iirc), but the algorithm and problem stays

yeah, the movenc expects that the extra data starts with NAL start code
and contains one SPS and PPS. I see no problem on that side, it is
rather the h264 splitter. That fails to let the extra data start with
NAL start code and does abort on SEI NALs, thus aborting before
encountering the PPS.
I don't know what the splitter was supposed to do - if it should the
things above...

uh, has ffmpeg such bitstream filters already, also for h264?
