Comskip crashes - takes mencoder with it

What Version of iTiVo?
1.7.7b3

What Version of MacOS X?
10.5.7

What download format did you select?
decrypt/copy

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. use mode above
2. enable commercial skip
3. download

Please provide any additional information below.
As far as I can tell this has something to do with the video its encoding. The 
crash happens about 
3 times a week. I have two computers running iTivo - same versions and OS. One 
just runs 24/7 
downloading and editing out commercials. Its typically downloading Stargate SG1 
(HD) and the 
simpsons (SD).

The other machine I just use to download things I want right away or that 
weren't auto 
downloaded and cleaned by the other machine.

I notices this crashing problem in the stable version and switched to the beta 
hoping it would fix 
it. It seems to make no different. Typically the crash occurs after the file is 
downloaded (4-8GB) 
but early into the editing process (183MB in this case).

I'm attaching the crash logs and configuration issue for both comskip and 
mencoder from the 
latest crash. I believe comskip crashes and then takes out mencoder with it but 
I'm not sure.

Let me know if you need any other info. I have the latest version of xcode 
installed as part of the 
iPhone SDK so I could probably get additional debugging info if you can give me 
instructions.

I love the application and think you guys have done great work! Let me know if 
there's anything I 
can do to help!
