Mediacoder crapping out on Fraps breaks

I'm trying to get a video Let's Play in order, and I've hit a snag that's pretty much stopped me in my tracks. I'm using mediacoder to compress my recordings, and on individual stuff it has no problem - any video in which I start and stop manually is perfectly fine. Any time it hits the end of a video where Fraps does one of its auto-breakups, however, it has a stroke and will hang at the point where the break occurred before finally just assuming that that's the end of the whole thing and spitting out the third or half or so before this break occurred.
The thing that gets me, though, is that only Mediacoder has this problem - for actual editing and such I'm using Sony Vegas Pro, and I was able to assemble the clips and everything else and put out a whole albeit huge file with no problems It's only when Mediacoder looks at it and Fraps' auto-division that the shitstorm starts.
The guide I used for setting up Mediacoder was from Something Awful, so I suppose it might be outdated regarding newer versions. Is there some setting I've got to switch or some codec I've got to download? And if I can't rely on Mediacoder for compression, then what settings can I use on SVP's rendering setup to get compression of similar quality and efficiency as Mediacoder?
EDIT: Lovely, now it's giving me a "Unrecognised frame format, please inteall the latest version of Fraps" line. Which, you know, I do.
EDIT: It's not even fucking constant about it - I just remembered that the video before the one that's giving me all this trouble was transcoded just fine, and that had a break at the end just like the troublemaker.
