Halfway through encoding VOB to MPEG2, bbmpeg got into an endless loop. It would jump backwards about 10 frames and continue encoding to the same point, then jump backwards again to the same point. All night long. This is my first full length encoding, after testing many clips. Similar thing happened while I was test-encoding the trailer, but after 3 or 4 cycles it would continue normally, so I didn't think it was a problem. Any ideas? Here's the project:
