[mythtv-users] Frontend dies while playing certain recorded video, and so does transcode

[ffrr]

I posted about this problem a few days ago, but now have more info.

I have, for example, a recorded show that at certain points, while 
playing it in mythfrontend, it cause myth to crash with a segmentation 
fault.  This same file plays OK in Kaffeine.

Now I have discovered that if I ask myth to transcode it (to mpeg4) the 
transcode process starts, I see the tmp file start to be created, but 
when I check back later the log says the transcode process errored, and 
the tmp file is gone (the original file is the original size).

So, do transcode and the playback software share some common fault, that 
they do not gracefully handle video with certain content? (it's mpeg2 
straight from a DVB card, TS mode, btw)
