The first time I tried, the resulting file encoded just fine, but after 
trying a few more times, cutting at slightly different points, I was 
able to get a snippet of that section that exhibits the problem. This is 
short enough that I think I can link to it here:

This results in a 4.1GB file when encoded with -7.
