I can't reproduce this with the latest 32bit (though I don't have a 
32bit win7 machine to test on)

Are you using the latest version / keeping them updated? Is it one 
recording/all?
I recently had weird stuff happening with which compiler the autobuilds 
were using.

Also, what cpu is this running on? I don't know how exactly it affects 
things, but i think the configure script enables processor 
optimisations, which would have to be based on my sandy bridge i7 where 
the builds are cross compiled.

Given that its happening on an ffmpeg library, it may be a decoding 
error. I would suggest trying to play it in vlc and see if it crashes 
(could just be myth's version of the lib tho)

For the record, things like this may be better suited to the tracker on 
sourceforge (there are a few patches that are added before compilation). 
I set up email notifications on it today so I should now be notified 
when an issue is posted.
