Two out of three of your "Dutch" snips have heavy encoding errors at the beginnings of each of them; namely major video chunking in the form of gigantic squares and, during the "hookers" sequence, when they pull off the interstate, your colour gamut freaks out - top right of the screen areas of snow turn a bright pink. Same with your Elektra-Preview. Major chunking at the beginning. Unfortunately, the tool I have been using for years is not available for your platform. But I am certain that there are many choices out there. A search of sourceforge.net might yield lovelies for you. Whether it's your chosen video codec: [ffh264] vfm:ffmpeg (FFmpeg H. 264), or your fancy new proggie that is buggy, I cannot ever say for sure. But something is definitely amiss. ------------------------------ OK, Is anyone else experiencing these problems? My friends that have Quicktime 7 on Mac or PC have not mentioned any problems. Please let me know so I can get it correct. I am still learning this stuff. ,Jonathan
