hi, sorry i didn't search myself, i just didn't really know what to search for and on most other forums i'm on, search terms have to be at least 4 characters long... anyways, thanks for the links. just like in all the other cases, at the frame mentioned in the error, there's "static-like" image (actually, this is beverly hills cop 3 and the error occurs at the parade at the end, where some confetti is coming down from the sky, the source is also very blocky at that point). now i'm encoding with batchcce and cce 2.67.00.23 and the first roba-pass just ended successfully so i'm confident that it will encode properly this time. cu
