It appears that there is something wrong with the acceleration autodetection function. If you look at my previous posts you will find that when using the transcode-0.6.14-1.1.fc3.fr.i386.rpm that the acceleration used was "mmx". The new version defaults to "sse". Apparently SSE/SSE2 isn't supported on AMD ATHLON processors - and for whatever reason, the new release of transcode doesn't autodetect this properly. The workaround: add the --accel option when running from a system which uses an AMD processor. Both --accel mmx and --accel 3dnow work fine.
