In light of my experiences with that material and Josh's two most recent posts, I'll just stay away from encoding with either of those options and certainly from advising anyone else to use them. Thanks again to both Miroslav and Josh for their help with that question, and a long overdue thanks to Kerry Hoath for assistance with my batch file question some months back. I never shared the eventual solution to that because it is completely dependent on using Lemmy (a vi-imitation for Windows) and thus impracticable for most people on this list.
