I am trying to encode the TS of Japanese terrestrial shows but "PES packet size mismatch" occurs.

1. I've installed ffmpeg on Ubuntu by the way on ​http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095 except the point that I set --prefix=/usr few days ago. I reinstalled today. But the problem isn't solved.
2. I'm in Japan. And I record TV shows aired in Japan. The shows are saved as MPEG-TS files.
   1. When I tried to encode the TS files of "Lie To Me" S1EP03 and of "Cold Case" S3EP19 into mp4 file with libx264, "PES packet size mismatch" occurs. They are aired on TV-Tokyo, a terrestrial channel. When I tried to encode one of "IT White Box"(NHK-G, a terrestrial one), same error occurs.
   2. I find ok to encode the TS files of "Good Wife" S02EP02(NHK BS Premium) and "Covert Affairs" S1EP02(BS-TBS) into mp4 file with libx264. NHK BS Premium and BS-TBS are satellite channels.

I attach the reproduced lines of the trouble with "Lie To Me" (by the command below). Other encoding commands referred above is like that.

emmanuel@star2:~/Recording/ProductsTStoEncode$ ffmpeg -i Lie_To_Me_S1EP03.ts -acodec libfaac -aq 100 -vcodec libx264 -preset slow -crf 22 -s 1280x720 -aspect 16:9 -threads 0 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map 0:2 Lie_To_Me_S1EP03.mp4

Replying to Emmanuel_Chanel:

Are you only reporting that this message appears or is there any problem with the resulting file?
Or do you believe that ffmpeg prints warnings for perfectly valid streams?

If there is a problem: Is it only reproducible with an external library (libx264 and libfaac) or do you see the same problems with internal encoders? (Bugs are often significantly easier to reproduce - and to fix - if no external libraries are involved.)

In any case, please upload a sample to ​http://www.datafilehost.com/ and post the link here.

Are you only reporting that this message appears or is there any problem with the resulting file?

Yes. One encoding is abnormally ended... I didn't wait for the abnormal end, though... Certainly, I should've posted that...

Or do you believe that ffmpeg prints warnings for perfectly valid streams?

Yes. I tested Lie To Me S1EP02, too. I could encode without problem before I cleanly install Ubuntu 11.10...(I installed ffmpeg the git-master in June...)

Can you make a sample available?

I downgraded ffmpeg into 0.7.1 and updated into 0.7.6 after that. That trouble didn't occur on them. And for error reproduction, I reinstalled the latest git version below.

Use -h to get full help or, even better, run 'man ffmpeg'

Many "PES packet size mismatch" occur but the TS looks encoded well.

Please reopen if you can provide a sample.
