I spake too soon. Unfortunately both tcrequant and M2VRequantiser seem to work with _some_ files, but not others. Can anyone here run a test on the video clip of a few seconds found at: http://www.otto.net/~otto/requant-sample.tar.gz (3.7MiB) and see if tcrequant and/or M2VRequantiser is able to do the job for you? I've included pictures of the garbage I get with both of them. -- /* * * Otto J.
