I'm running another encode right now to get another file with the same 
error. I'm going to run that command on it right after it completes. And 
try the debug. I haven't run a full series of tests yet, but will later 
today when I have time. This is my preliminary information request, to 
see if anyone has seen similar problems.

The first file was created with the stock nuvexportrc, with the 
following override profile...just a straight cut and paste of te Xvid 
section, with two modifiers.

<profile::hd>
  mode = xvid
  vbr          = yes   # Enable vbr to get the multipass/quantisation 
options
                         # (enabling multipass or quantisation 
automatically ena
bles vbr)
  multipass    = yes   # You get either multipass or quantisation; 
multipass wil
l override
#  quantisation = 6     # 4 through 6 is probably right...  1..31 are 
allowed (l
ower is better quality)
    a_bitrate    = 128   # Audio bitrate of 128 kbps
    v_bitrate    = 2000   # Remember, quantisation overrides video bitrate
    width        = 960   # Height adjusts automatically to width, 
according to a
spect ratio
    height       = auto

</profile::hd>
