Hi Andy,

I have made a test OpenCodecs version which has a fix in the encoder
(removed a static buffer) Please tell me how this version works for you.

You can download the software from:

Cheers,
Cristian.

Wow, that was quick! I can confirm that this fully resolves the problem
that I was seeing. 

Many thanks for your prompt reply
