[mythtv-users] Lame error -1 when transcoding in some cases

[Claudio Fleiner]

Hi,

thanks for helping with the PAL/NTSC problem!

Everything works fine right now except that once in 
a while transcoding from rtjpeg to mpeg4 fails with
a 'lame error -1'. This happens in about 20% of the cases
and very repeatable (i.e. if I restart the transcoding
for a file that failed I get the exact same error).
I have lame version 3.92.1 installed on my system and
mythtv 0.13. Transcoding happens automatically after
a show has been recorded.

Here the output from mythbackend:

The first transcoding failed, while the second one worked just fine.

Any idea on what might be wrong?

Thanks, Claudio
