Some months ago I posted a similar message with the outputs of valgrind 
on output_example (to produce an Mpeg4 Mov) and I found some memory leaks.
I posted a little patch ( for h263.c, mpeg12.c, mpegvideo.c, BTW I saw 
the problem seems to be in other codecs too ).
The leaks I found solved if I replaced the  av_mallocz  call  with  
av_mallocz_static

If you are interested the message was:
