It's not the file length.  I've tried re-encoding various ways but 
pretty much everything I have crashes.  The file plays in mplayer but 
throws a lot of errors.

I have not tried re-encoding in mencoder....

Anyone know the "proper" encoding for an mpeg-2 file?  Mostly the audio 
codec requirements?
