no problems, I looked at bdwrite but it demands root and I am not yet root
on this tablet. m2ts was created still... so, does this 'cut tail with ff
4.4 bug' exist for you in all resolutions/framerates as allowed by bd
creation window?

in theory stable should provide stable(ish) api, but I just wanted to see
if I can make this feature (new avcintra modes) works here..

I think even ff-4.3 should be compatible with new x264, but w/o new
features...

of course you can check out stable branch of x264... and test with
this/ff-4.3 instead... I just  jump ahead of locomotive sometimes
