I have to say, for the first time yet, this latest post is from /my/ viewing experience almost completely flawless. Not one single visual artifact - no fuscia blobbing, no artifacty squaroids. The only negative thing I experienced was a couple of points of frame-dropping, caused by who-knows-what.

I have to say, despite your unfortunate experience, iKamm has finally iFigured something out. My guess is that he's actually taking some time to render his compressions instead of trying to bust them out very fast - and any compressor knows, a slow "careful" compression yields better results than a hasty one. It's always been a trade off between wanting a good compression and wanting a compression done now. iKamm clearly believed that the new power he had gotten from the Ori was without flaw, and as such thought that he could crank out these videos with great dispatch and without any care for quality control. Whoops. Guess the Ori aren't as all powerful as you thought, eh Kammy?

The only problems that remain are that )1) iKamm's too stinking proud and iTarded to admit that his "older" compressions lick donkey balls, and need a good scrapping and re-doing, and )2) some people, like you, for unknown reasons, still are having problems resultant from his stupidly belligerent use of this mostly bleeding edge codec that offers no appreciable benefit from others more proven and more widely useful.

Best just bleat along with the rest - Hallowed are the Ori - or our benevolent Prior will smite his staff into the ground and unleash untold unholy havoc upon thee, unbeliever.

Here's an output report from iKamm's latest. I don't know it it will help you with any googling.... nevertheless, I wish you great success on your quest. Not to slather salt, but this really is FMPOV one of Yello's best ever. And [ouch!] one of [ow!] iKamm's [ay!] best too [hurk... ohhh, that hurts....].
