Hi,

My final update on the situation...

Okay, I fixed the sound problem (null filter) by converting the
2-channel AC3 stream to vorbis instead of trying to convert the
6-channel one. (oops)

Then I let it run again, and when it still hadn't stopped after aboug
170% I went and had a look at the audio file, and it was about 70%
longer than the movie itself... Looks like it was probably looping. I
cancelled pass 1 and explicitly put in the start and end frames of the
movie, then chose to reuse the log from pass 1, and let pass 2 run with
that information. Seems like it's worked!

I don't know why it ran past the end of the movie. Specifying the frame
numbers explicitly seems to work though.

Thanks for all the help, looks like I've finally got a usable file now. :D
