Interesting. I thought I had a solution when I noticed that there was a Mac version of mpeg streamclip. Okay, the mac is slow, but at least there's a batch encode option in mpeg streamclip so it can run overnight.

Not so fast. These files crash the mac, too. But at least the mac gives a crashdump. I don't suppose the crashdump data is decipherable by any of youse guys is it? (attached)
