HI!

The problem is not mpeg2enc and probably not with the memory.
Are you using the nvidia drivers?

Yes. NVidia 6111.
Using Suse 9.0, kernel 2.4.21-266-smp4G, mjpegtools 1.6.2.
I've had a couple times when the machine (dual Athlon, good ECC
memory, running SuSE9.2) would freeze when doing an encoding. The
only way I could complete the evening's encoding was to drop out of
X (go to run level 3). Then the same commands that were freezing
the system ran to completion (and the output was not corrupted - that
was another symptom I saw, the system would not freeze but the output
would be garbage). Seems that a scrolling xterm caused enough
traffic thru the nVidia module to tickle a bug.
Well, mpeg2enc was running in a shell inside a VNC session.
I think there's a bug in the nVidia driver(s). You might try (if it
will work) the 'nv' module that comes with the X server. The other
thing to try is running the encoding session at run level 3 without
the nvidia module active/loaded.
I'll try that and possible another NVidia driver version. Thanks!
Thomas
