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.
