Comment (by francois.visagie@…):

 Replying to [comment:18 cehoyos]:

 > aborting (without a crash as done with shorter input files with other
 presets) is much better.

 Perhaps '-preset ultrafast' handled the stats anomaly better in this
 instance, but for the sake of correctness I should point out that I've
 experienced no correlation between crashing and shorter input files.

 I first experienced crashing when encoding whole DVDs and since it's
 happened whenever these conditions have been satisfied:
 * this particular input demuxed from MPEG-type format AND
 * two-pass encoding with different output format on pass 1 and audio
 filter on pass 2 AND
 * '-preset veryslow',
 regardless of input file size.
