Is tcrequant supposed to be properly working in transcode 1.0.2 on x86_64?
I'd like to shrink some video files a bit to make them fit better on a DVD,
but I just end up with garbage, whatever video streams I try to give it...

% uname -a
Linux tigger.otto.net 2.6.18-1.2239.fc5 #1 SMP Fri Nov 10 12:51:06 EST 2006
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
% cat /etc/redhat-release
Fedora Core release 5 (Bordeaux)
% rpm -qf `which tcrequant` `which tcdemux`
transcode-1.0.2-9.fc5
transcode-1.0.2-9.fc5
% tcdemux -i Porkkala.mpg -x mpeg2 > Porkkala.m2v
% tcrequant -f 1.1 -i Porkkala.m2v > Porkkala-requant.m2v
% ls -l Porkkala*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 otto otto 11130880 Dec  9 19:47 Porkkala.mpg
-rw-rw-r-- 1 otto otto 10360832 Dec  9 19:49 Porkkala.m2v
-rw-rw-r-- 1 otto otto  9091321 Dec  9 19:49 Porkkala-requant.m2v

At this point, Porkkala.m2v is the correctly extracted video stream,
but Porkkala-requant.m2v is somehow damaged (errors all over the video,
pixelation etc) If you want, you can pull all these sample files from
http://www.otto.net/~otto/Porkkala.mpg ...

Trying this out on a i686 fc5 system produced a requant file which was
also broken and was the same size, but had a different checksum.
Mysterious.

Any suggestions, could anyone else try this?
