I do a lots of testing, and the segfaults seem to happen when the video
quality is very bad. With quality I mean the quality of the channel received
by the antenna. If I encode a nuv in avi and the quality is good, I can
encode with mencoder and play it in windows. When the quality is poor, I can
encode it with mencoder, but it segfaults either mplayer and windows media
player. When the quality is very bad, mencoder segfaults...
