While encoding audio from mpeg movie on 37 minute and on 41 minute (after I released memory closing firefox) ffmpeg2theora captured about 70% of memory.

Memory getting used != memory leak; do you get the memory back when encoding has finished?
Encoding never finished. The process locked the system. I assumed it was memory leak since the memory consumtion was increasing by the time. I don't know anything about ffmpeg2theora's algorithm. Total memory I have: 432MB
I have seen the related-aspect of this bug mentioned in comment #3, where encoding never finishes 4 times now. I don't know if this is so much a memory leak, or ffmpeg2theora-0.16 getting into an infinite loop, and then slowly eating memory in a "normal" way.
Try ffmpeg2theora-0.18. I couldn't reproduce anykind of leaking, in fact, xfce4-mixer-plugin took more memory. ;-) As for the machine freezing.. if you have OOM Killer enabled in your kernel make sure you have enough swap reserved..
I noticed twice that after a while ffmpeg process was gradually occupying my memory (1gb). Strange but in both cases I ended up with 3gb of converted video. This time I converted .vob to .dv Is that normal? I will be testing 0.18 now.
I mean, ffmpeg process usually used ~22mb. After a while the consumption was gradually growing up to 80% of 1gb of RAM.
No problems with 0.18 encoding "The Sandlot". Will try later on "Outside Providence" video.
(In reply to comment #8) > No problems with 0.18 encoding "The Sandlot". > Will try later on "Outside Providence" video. > I've removed 0.16 from tree. I don't see anything left in this bug for us..
