None of these problem occur without the ffmpeg patch.  This is with
svn r18673, BTW.

It looks like AAC.  It's whatever the HD-PVR generates by default from
the analog inputs.

See attached hdpvr.log.

Also see attached hdpvr2.log.  It's from a different recording and
results in an infinite loop.

What's wrong with just --enable-debug by itself?  What's the
recommended way to get debug symbols without losing optimzation?  If
that's suppoed to be compile-type=profile then it's very mislabeled.

See attached mpeg2hd.log and mpeg2hd.gdb.

It happens with the kdfw2.mpg file I gave you for the other problem.
I'll send you the URL privately in case you don't still have it.
