Now I'll finish this story (monoloque ;)

In one encoding it took aroung 5-6 rounds (20000 - 60000 frames,
2.25 fps) to get encoded. I got the following problems:

1) at frame 19932 transcoding stopped. All components were waiting
   for IO, but for some reason it did not conitune...

2) Tried that again -- now it got further from that, but around
   frame ~25000 ffmpeg import command SIGSEGV't, causing 5min a/v
   sync problem (and, of course, 5min lost video)

3) Used mplayer import module (and mplayer command wrapper).
   In the morning when I looked results, the machine worked weirdly;
   screen stayed blanked whatever I did -- I was lazy enough not to
   investigate further but hard-reseted the machine. ~57000 frames
   (from total of ~63000) encoded. Some stuff missed from the end
   and additionally audio started to lagg (some video frames dropped)

At this time I entered `yum update' on FC5. libdv packages updated.
With newer libdv the dv import module worked again.

4) Started again from the beginning. Tested -x dv...(*) and it worked!
   ... and it created perfect results without any hacky wrappers.


So, from now on I use this... and I think doing something to ffbin and/or
mplayer import modules just went under interest threshold (I might do
something else, though).


Thanks for reading. I hope this has been interesting/amusing :D
