I'm utterly stumped. I've read online that "-MC 0" will get rid of the x264
speedup issue. I thought maybe the original line with "-mc 0" was an error,
but "-MC 0" made no difference.

I've tried using H263 and H261, and neither work. H263 claims my 1024 x 768
video is not compatible with the codec. With H261, mplayer crashes on
playback.

I need to make Quicktime compatible files, but I've been absolutely stymied
at every turn. The only think I can think of doing is to convert all my
files to DV, and use IPhoto on a Mac. Which takes absolutely ages and is
really, really, inconvenient.

Cheers,
