[x264-devel] x264 error reporting

[B. G. Kim]

Dear, L. Aimar.

nice to meet you. I'm an researcher who is interested in video coding.......

So, I usually have used x264 encoder for H.264/AVC contents in Linux (Red Hat 9.0, Intel 3.4 GHz CPU). 

At recent, I found a misoperation of the x264 during encoding the video as follows, and much slower than

the previous verion (x264). I have updated it on 17, January 2005.

====== printed message ==============

===============================

To the third row, there are some errenous operation in my opinion.

As a result on another Linux PC, I've got the same message.

I hope this report is helpful of the advanced development of x264. And 

reply to me if you have any solution for this problem.

Thank you for your contribution for x264 project!


With best regards,
