Unfortunately, I already have that line.

I've been playing with options, trying to get the picture right.  I'm not
entirely clear on some of the -vop options, so I've just been trying them
randomly.  If I use -vop palette, the picture improves in the color area,
but it appears like it's painted on canvas.  (strange crisscross lines in
the video, almost like it's had a photoshop canvas filter applied...)

I can't seem to find any specific documentation on the the options
regarding palettes, etc.  Some of them even say "finish documenting" in
the man page.  I am going to keep trying, but I sure wonder why it worked
before!

Thank you for any other ideas you may have...
