Sorry about the poor subject line in my earlier message. You can ignore that and reply to this one if you want, or whatever, I suppose it doesn't matter much. Thanks again in advance.

I am experiencing a mythbackend crash and I cannot find the cause. I have myth .18.1 on Gentoo Linux 2.6.12. I am using a pcHDTV-3000 capture card and an nVidia GeForce 4 4200 for DVI-out to my HDTV. TV records well and plays back well now, but every day or so mythbackend crashes at seemingly random times--usually when I am not using the PC. When I start mythbackend from a console, the only dump I get from it when it crashes hours later is "Killed". No seg fault or other error: ======= root ~% mythbackend --logfile mythlog1.txt --verbose all [.....many hours go by with normal functionality....] Killed root ~% ============ What could be causing it to die? Here is the end of the most recent verbose log file (14 MB) I have. The only errors I seem to get are all these mpeg2video errors. Are any of those fatal? Any ideas are appreciated. ======= root ~% tail -n 40 mythlog1.txt [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]ac-tex damaged at 80 37 [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]concealing 45 DC, 45 AC, 45 MV errors [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]00 motion_type at 69 40 [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]00 motion_type at 97 41 [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]00 motion_type at 118 44 [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]00 motion_type at 58 46 [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]concealing 371 DC, 371 AC, 371 MV errors [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]ac-tex damaged at 71 25 [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]concealing 80 DC, 80 AC, 80 MV errors [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]skiped MB in I frame at 65 33 [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]concealing 80 DC, 80 AC, 80 MV errors [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]MPEG motion vector out of boundary [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]concealing 25 DC, 25 AC, 25 MV errors [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]00 motion_type at 89 45 [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]concealing 80 DC, 80 AC, 80 MV errors [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]concealing 15 DC, 15 AC, 15 MV errors [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]concealing 4 DC, 4 AC, 4 MV errors [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]00 motion_type at 52 66 [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]concealing 80 DC, 80 AC, 80 MV errors [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]slice mismatch [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]00 motion_type at 114 47 [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]00 motion_type at 75 48 [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]slice mismatch [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]00 motion_type at 93 50 [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]00 motion_type at 107 52 [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]concealing 498 DC, 498 AC, 498 MV errors [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]00 motion_type at 79 56 [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]ac-tex damaged at 105 57 [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]concealing 170 DC, 170 AC, 170 MV errors [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]00 motion_type at 83 15 [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]concealing 40 DC, 40 AC, 40 MV errors [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]concealing 17 DC, 17 AC, 17 MV errors [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]MPEG motion vector out of boundary [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]MPEG motion vector out of boundary [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]skiped MB in I frame at 20 12 [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]concealing 40 DC, 40 AC, 40 MV errors [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]invalid mb type in P Frame at 82 41 [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]00 motion_type at 84 49 [mpeg2video @ 0xb7706830]concealing 80 DC, 80 AC, 80 MV errors 2005-08-17 02:58:28.040 Transcoding /var/video/1008_20050815210000_20050815220000.nuv done root ~% ============= The only errors I seem to get are all those mpeg2video errors.
