I was in the past able to encode perfectly using either mencoder or
transcode (the former in divx4 compatibility mode, and the only way to
get good A/V sync).

However, with the CVS code, transcode segfaults. Running a backtrace in
gdb shows that it crashes in encode_bframes in the xvid core.
Commandline was:

transcode -q 128 -V -A -M 4 -N 0x2000 -j 0,8 -f 0,1 -w 1500 -y xvidcvs

On the mencoder side, it encodes without errors, however, the output is
garbled (examples below). Playback is the same under Linux or under
Windows with XviD or ffdshow.

My guess is that its not able to correctly deliver the data to XviD in
divx4 compatibility mode anymore.
