 I have been experiencing problems playing back h.264 encoded AVI files
 with mythvideo with the Internal player.  It looks like this is a problem
 with the internal video player and not mythvideo itself but I am not sure.

 To my knowledge this worked correctly in SVN 16127 and did not work
 correctly in SVN 16254 (and does not work correctly now in SVN 16311).
 When attempting to start the video the following error is received from
 "mythfrontend -v playback" and mythfrontend exits almost immediately.
 Backtrace will be attached.

 [h264 @ 0x8c61a0]Internal error, picture buffer overflow

 A more complete error log will be attached.

 All of the movies play properly with mplayer, ffplay, and xine.

 Now I have noticed that some of my movies work and some do not.  Using
 "mencoder -ovc copy -oac copy" I was able to take the same source video
 file and depending on the length, it would or would not work.  I am
 attaching a more complete log of the mencoder session but whether it works
 or not seems to be a function of whether or not the following appears:

 ODML: Starting new RIFF chunk at 1023MB.m...

 If that line appeared, the video won't play in the internal player. I'm
 attaching mencoder output from a video that works and one that does not
 work, which are derived from the same source and vary only in the length.
