mencoder_mt has unexpectedly quit

[greenjo]

Mac Pro Quad 2.66GHz 6GB RAM Wired network. v1.10.5

Just downloaded program today, looks like it will work a treat, mencoder crashed today, and since then I just get a black screen

I now get this msg continuously in trace:

Same problem here. I find it usually happens when play back HD videos.

[dsuchter]

For me the problem seems correlated to transcode setting "Enhanced multicore support for H264 HD content." By default I have that setting on because it seems to make the transcoding much faster from my lay observation. However, I ran into a video that just would not play right until I unchecked that setting and restarted PMS - now it plays fine.

I'm on a first-unibody generation MacBook (13") at 2.4GHz (Intel Core 2 Duo) with 2GB 1067MHz DDR3 running fully up-to-date OSX 10.5.8. I'm running PMS v1.10.5, which I believe is the latest binary distro for OSX.

According to MediaInfo (I don't know what version of MI I'm using) the video I'm playing is:
