If you search the list archives for subject "Error Transcoding HD H264
v0.2 11156" you will find a posting I made regarding transcoding h264
and a solution that was suggested, by making a small change to one of
the transcoding profiles it does work.

I wonder if/when video cards will have accelerated h264 for mbaff or
if perhaps a addon card might be available that can do the bulk of the
decoding work.
