[MEncoder-users] MEncoder floating point exception

[Gavin Hamill]

Hi, I'm trying to use this commandline to get MEncoder to mux two MPEG
ESs together into a PS:

$ mencoder -of mpeg -mpegopts tsaf -ovc copy -oac copy -o blah
-audiofile out0.mp2 out.mv2

I'm getting 'floating point exception' with both a 'mencoder-586' Debian
package from the nerim.net repo, and also having compiled it from source
myself:

Previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?)

If I use the non-stripped version of 'mencoder' from the root of the
source directory, the trace is slightly different:

Program received signal SIGFPE, Arithmetic exception.

I'm not a coder but I can see this backtrace isn't much use - what can I
do to get more useful information?

The CPU type is correct - it's an 800MHz VIA C3.

Cheers,
Gavin.
