Ok, it looks like you hit a bug :_(
I don't think the problem is in video_output.c ( although that was a nice try 
;-)). The problem seems to come from the buffer management code or maybe the 
way it's used. If you have a look for the string "INPUT_MAX_ALLOCATION" you 
will find it in include/input_ext-plugins.h in the function _input_NewPacket.
This function is part of the buffer management code which deals with 
temporarily storing the data from the audio-video stream for later use by the 
decoders. And it looks like you found a leak.

I don't have any time to look at this right now, but if nobody does it I will 
try to see what's going on in a few days.

One thing you could do to help though would be to use another input plugin 
and see if the problem still happens. You could try the dvdread plugin for 
example or better still, try just the basic file input (but you might have to 
rip the dvd to your hard disk for this).
This could help to pin-point an input plugin problem.

Cheers,
