Hello,

I am trying to convert a .vnc file created via vncrec
into a more usable format. I have run into a couple
problems: 

1) transcode exits spontaneously without processing
the entire input file. It only processes 10-50 frames
and then exits. There are no error messages:

clean up | frame threads | unload modules | cancel
signal | internal threads | done
[transcode] encoded 46 frames (0 dropped, 0 cloned),
clip length   1.84 s


2) the output file that is produced has garbled video
(looks like everything is slanted to one side although
colors are correct)

This is the command I am using:

transcode -x vnc -y xvid -i 2.vnc -o 2.avi --use_rgb
-g 1400x1050 -k

I cannot find any combination of transcode parameters
that does not cause the above warning message or that
produces useable video.

I am using transcode 1.0.2 on RH el4, i386. I have
built it from the release tarball.

If anyone has any suggestions as to what could be the
problem, I would greately appreciate your help. Thank
you.
