I have built mpeg2encode for Windows with png support.

I can't get it to make a decent animation.  Oh sure, it starts out like gangbusters
but after a 100 frames or so, whenever i hit some high motion scene (rotate the
camera on the y) it craps out with underruns and overruns.  I can get a valid 
MPEG-1 out of it, but it looks like dung compared to mpegencode.

Can you share one of your parameter files?
