I can’t speak specifically to the Kona card since I don’t have one but the source I tested from Analog Chad, who has a Kona card, had Vertical Interval information in it and I was able to do an encode with Episode Pro and the encode retained that information (at least by eye).

Also check version numbers.
QTPro 7.1.5
Flip4Mac 2.1.0.33

David’s suggestions are right on. If that doesn’t fix the issue the post example settings from Flip4Mac. It’s quite possible that B-Frame setting and keyframe setting might have impact. The distance between “natural” keyframes (edit points basically sets this) can have an impact too.

Flip4Mac Tech Support Forum is back up but please do feel free to ask questions on Cow.
Cow is a great way to examine issues through group effort and allow many readers to learn.

Have you tried MPEGStreamclip?

Thanks Aharon. Great tip that YouTube sadly quashed.

Hmm, Download the trial for 4.5.5 and see if it happens there.

Did this issue just start happening?
You might consider deleting Squeeze and its preferences and reinstalling it.
I did use 4.3.3 and didn’t see that issue (although I did see other issues).

[Craig Seeman]

What version Squeeze? 4.5.5 or 4.5.3, etc?

[Craig Seeman]

I see what you mean. That doesn’t happen on my system.

Looks like a screen draw issue. Close Squeeze. Toss the Squeeze Preferences in the trash.
search for
com.SorensonMedia.Squeeze 4.plist
and
com.sorenson.Squeeze.plist
and toss all instances.

Open Squeeze again and see if the issue is still there.

When you drop the Generic Filter on you should see a yellow box on the video with 8 on top, 16 on the bottom, 12 on the left, and 16 on the right. You should still see the video outside that area but it would look a little darker. This works fine for me.

I’m not sure what you mean “on top of” or “underneath.”

Can you post a link to a screen grab?

[Craig Seeman]

Yup it’s a real bug.
The bug is only with 2 Pass VBR. It’s affected by “natural” key frames. In other words, the more frames you get away from the edit point the worse it’ll look. Lots of fast edits and you may not see it. A long take and it’ll get very green.

Short term workaround: Avoid 2 Pass VBR. 2 Pass CBR should look fine. Ultimate solution: Flip4Mac is working on the fix.

I’m beta testing (I beta test both Sorenson Squeeze and Flip4Mac) and Flip4Mac should improve this in the next release in the near future.
