Comment 2 for bug 38350

I'll look into getting more info. Something that may help is the following.

i installed the flight 6 live cd on my other intel celeron machine. and
tried to convert
http://www.uni-duesseldorf.de/~ricke/matrix_xp/mxp_engl_l.zip<http://www.uni-duesseldorf.de/%7Ericke/matrix_xp/mxp_engl_l.zip>-
IT worked!

So I did a fresh install on my AMD Sempron 2800+ machine. then tired to
encode the same clip - segfault!
I downgraded to the hoard deb for ffmpeg (ffmpeg_0.cvs20050121-
1ubuntu1.1_i386.deb) . The conversion lasted longer, but again a segfault.
Also the latest deb from marillat also segfault (well it was worth a try).

Command used
FFMPEG -i <input file> -target pal-dvd dvd.mpg

So the problem seems to be AMD processor specifc.

I'm really confused why it worked on the intel box but not my main AMD pc. -
Any thoughts?

I'm not exerienced to do backtracing, but I'll try.
