Those two things together look very much like VLC is not sending stream
data. This is most likely caused by an choked CPU. It simply never gets
to create any valid theora data and throws away what it half did.

Make sure your system has the computational power and is nowhere near
95% CPU load. Notice that this is more or less single threaded. Multiple
cores won't help (much).
