Hi,

  I use mencoder to record TV from a bttv card ( ATI TVWonder).
  command line like this:
  mencoder -tv on:driver=v4l:width=320:height=240:amode=0:adevice=/dev/dsp \
           -o tv.avi -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=56:mode=3 \
           -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=900

  I run it on my machine with P4 2.0G, Mem=512MB
  MPlayer version is 0.90rc1
  
  The problem is :
      After start to run above command line, it use more and more
      memory and increase very fast until reached about 256MB.
      (I use 'top' to monitor the mem usage). It sames stoped memory
      requirment.
      
  If I use earlier snapshot version, it will still increase the
  memory useage, but slower, finally, begin memory swap...
  system hangs. Is it a memory-leak problem?
