bad encode?

sorry I haven't been responding.
I ran out of ideas a while ago, and I don't know why that chain of events led to a good result

so instead of trying to explain it (and probably fail at it) I felt it better to let someone else respond...but it seems that nobody else did

I'd skip the ConverttoYV12() if the RGB32 works. IMO, Uncompressed is better left at RGB32. For XviD/DivX/MPEG-4 encodes, the encoder should automatically convert the final output to YV12. The less colorspace conversions, the better.

No, UNLESS you need (or want) to keep a lossless compressed copy to save that uses less hard drive/DVD/CD space, OR...

Depending on the MEP's submission requirements, if XviD/DivX isn't accepted for final segments, I'd re-encode the Uncompressed to Lagarith or Huffyuv for sending/uploading.

No problem, Kariudo. You did what you could, and it helped me greatly.

Thanks for that. I'll remember just how I did this so that when it happens next time (because I'm sure it will), I won't have to deal with such a headache.

Thanks to everyone who posted, helping me out a bunch.
