[Bug 429961] [NEW] ogmrip created a huge log file (70+ gb) and filled the fs

[Marques Johansson]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ogmrip

While converting a 2gb vod (via DVD folder import) to a PSP mpeg4 (using
a customization to limit vbr to 1500kbps), ogmrip created a log file (in
my Video folder with a filename of the video file being created except
with a .log extension) that was 70+gb.  This is significantly larger
than the expected source or destination files.  This caused ogmrip to
fill the filesystem and strace revealed that it was stuck in a loop of
'no space left on disk'.  Sorry for the loose details - I deleted the
log in a struggle to get the system back in working condition, ogmrip
had to be killed to release the handle on the log. The process was at
97% of one of the video passes (the progress indicator is ambiguous
about what job you are being shown a percentage for).

I did not have the 'log command output' option enabled.

ogmrip should avoid creating log files of this size and/or give the
option to execute without a log
