I have not used transcode in a long time, but it seems to me at first glance that the above command has a video bitrate of 4000 whereas the mencoder is 400. If the mencoder command is as you have typed it here such a low bitrate could be at least part of the trouble. Patrick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
