[mythtv] mythtranscode segfault: minilzo: can't decompress illegal data

Hi,

I tried to convert a recording to SVCD using nuvexport, however I didn't 
have much luck. I ended up with about 400 seconds of mpeg which I didn't 
even bother to play, because the original recording was about 1 hour. So 
after running nuvexport --debug and running the resulting command by 
hand, I found that mythtranscode segfaults after about 10000 frames (see 
output below). It seems it has trouble decompressing a frame/packet. Is 
there a way to make mythtranscode just drop any corrupted frames and 
continue? I had a quick glance at the relevant code but didn't quite 
understand it.
The video has been recorded by a Hauppauge WinTV (conventional) using 
RTJPEG in PAL land if that matters.
Btw., does anybody know if the PVR-350 tv-out decoder can play 
SVCD-compliant MPEGs? Because the reason I tried this in the first place 
was to be able to watch my RTJPEG recordings on the PVR-350 tv-out 
without stuttering.
