Agreed... but I think I'm cursed, are you too?

I watched them all with my wife - our eyes hurts, by the way (^^,) and I discovered another badly encoded frame just five minutes before the end... it's a curse, or simply some software has problems...

So, I will re-do the encode a third (and I hope for the last) time - but this time I'll switch off EVERY other software, and avoid to open ANY video file; I'm going to download the last version of both AviSynth and x264... maybe the browser will be the only software I'll leave opened, because AFAIR I had no problems with previous project encoding leaving it opened... and, if I will forced to do a 4th encoding, I'll do it using a completely clean and with fresh OS reinstall.

Wish me luck again!

Can't you just use tsmuxer to split the film just before that error so you only need to reencode the last 5 minutes, then join the two encodes to have the whole film fixed without needing to reencode the whole thing again?
