[mythtv-users] MythTranscode failure in 0.20 with status 0

[Leland Weathers]

I am trying to run transcode (hitting 'X' while watching a recording). I have 
specified mpeg4 as the output (per 
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/247229 since I had been 
getting the 278 status error previously) There is a cutlist (auto commercial 
flag job + manual edit of the beginning of the recording). The job fails 
fairly quickly. When I run mythtranscode from the command-line I get a 
segmentation fault. Since I am only attempting one stream, and there are no 
other jobs running when I am attempting the job, I do not think the segfault 
fixed in 0.20-fixes is the issue. Looking at the release notes for 0.21 
mythtranscode - I do not know how to tell if my issue is fixed yet. I am 
recording with PVR-150 ivtv. The video itself does not appear corrupted when 
I view it in the frontend. I'm not sure how to check for the non-empty buffer 
segfault. I am including output from the backend log and from the 
command-line output from mythtranscode. Any help would be appreciated
