this is not really a question pertaining MC, but the underlying tools.
I am trying to make an original mov into a mp4 with the same setps that MC would, but the resulting movie ist scrolling from left to right and has some other artefacts in the image.
I am using these steps:
1.ffmpeg -> raw
2. x264 >-h264
3. MP4Bo -> mp4
The raw-file from step 1 plays fine in VLC, but the 264 from step 2 shows the problem (see windows media player screen shot attached). It does not matter how many options I add or take off the x264 command, the file from step 2 will just not play. What am I doing wrong?
