[Ffmpeg-devel] segfault in libavcodec

(forward from vlc forum)

hi to all,

i'm experiencing this problem with vlc:

i have a video playlist made of about 10 video clips in wmv2 format;
i play the playlist in loop and after about 1-2 hours vlc segfaults;
i tried with other video clips, but the problem remains the same

i'm getting the same problem with mpeg4 video clips,
but i have no problem playing mpeg2 material

i think this problem is related to the ffmpeg module, but i don't know if it's a ffmpeg bug or a vlc-ffmpeg interface

my system is a Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16

and i'm using vlc-0.8.4-test1 compiled with
[00000000] main root debug: libvlc was configured with ./configure --enable-debug --disable-mkv --enable-mozilla --with-mozilla-sdk-path=/home/jonny/mozilla/dist/sdk --with-ffmpeg-tree=/home/jonny/ffmpeg --disable-gnomevfs --disable-dvbpsi

this is a gdb backtrace
