Thanks for the positive reinforcement!  It helps to keep me going by making me feel that all the time I put into this is somehow worth it. :-)

Harmy, it is fine by me if you want to use some shots.  I am curious, which shots are helpful to you?

Regarding the new clips, I used After Effects instead of Xvid4PSP to create them (except maybe the MPEG2 version - can't remember now because it was late).  I also used a muxer included with Haali Media Splitter to mux the AC3 audio.  I have been having problems with TSMuxer.  All of the videos now work correctly on my buggy work computer if I use VLC.  The 1920x1080 MPEG2 version works fine with Windows Media Player.  The 1920x1080 MP4 version has correct video without dropouts, but no sound using WMP.  The 2560x1090 MP4 version doesn't have video or sound in WMP, but the progress scrollbar moves.  At least VLC should work for everyone now.  Also, I figured out why my levels were wrong in VLC.  After I disabled using my video card for acceleration of the video in VLC, it looked correct.  At home WMP works fine for all of the clips.

Also, I noticed some white frames somehow showed up in between the scenes on the 1920x1080 versions.  I caught one of them last night, but noticed more today. One of my new automation steps that changed the older already done frames from 1920x818 to 1920x1080 caused that.  I will delete the white frames and upload some replacement clips.  In the meantime, viewing the 2560x1090 version works fine.
