The man page is interesting though on this setting. It appears that the default value is 46KB. I do have some interesting results to report though, it may be related to this bug and maybe help to track it down. When I couldn't get the current CVS to build my project. I moved the build directory back to what I had several days ago. To my surprise it still didn't build. Exact same error message. I know these tools had worked. But I had the sound drop outs. The only change I made in the project was reducing the time for the still images. I dropped them to 15 seconds from 60 seconds. Which also produces 4 times the start/end sequences on the encoding because segment is shorter but the overal video project remains 90 minutes. So I went back to the current CVS from this morning and changed back to 60 seconds on the segment lengths. And now it builds again all the way through! The data rate is at 7500kbps as reported by mplayer. I burned it to DVD and it still has the sound drop outs. (also -b 300 was set) Also, Ogle once again is reporting errors in the e0 video stream. Could my sound drop outs be from undected buffer overflows? Since I created a script to run instead of typing the commands each time, I will include it at the end as well. Perhaps you will see something that I should not be doing and/or another way to create it that would not produce the errors. > Looks like you've snagged the first bug that needs to be fixed > before a release - congratulations! ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you. I have long awaited an opportunity to do something worthwhile in my life. I would just like to take this opportunity to offer my sincerest gratitude to all the developers that have made this moment possible.
