Have seen this behavior for about a week now. Currently at r26104 on the
trunk.

When running mythtranscode on a HD recording using the "Low Quality"
profile and MPEG4, I have had a number of corrupted recordings. The
output file sizes are approximately 1/3 of their normal size for typical
recordings. The audio appears fine, however all but a few sporadic frames
of video are gone/corrupted.

Note: Some of these recordings may have been tagged for transcoding twice,
i.e. mythtranscode has been run on them twice with the same settings.
When picking shows for transcode, I sometimes accidentally re-transcode
recordings, however this has never caused any issues in the past and
typically results in an innocuous no-op. So this behavior might be
specific to transcoding twice, I cannot tell for sure.

Perhaps an option allowing myth to skip transcoding shows that have
already been transcoded could be added (will check the tickets if a
request for this has already been made)

When playing one of the corrupted recordings, the frontend streams this
output to the console:

Comment (by kenni):

Same issue here, but not sure if it's transcoding or playback related.
It's not consistent: if I try to playback the recording many times, it
WILL suddently play once without any issues (I can also skip back and
forward while playing). Perhaps a failure rate of 90%, but it will play
sometimes.

All of my recordings are automatically transcoded by MythTV from MPEG2
(Hauppauge HW encoder) into MPEG4, so it should not be related to 2x
transcoding, as I never trigger any manual transcodings.

I've stripped out the first 20MB of one of the affected recordings:
