Great...I've been trying to encode from PNG.

Starts playing ok, except that the right 1/4 of the image is black and 
the actual contents of the movie are squashed into a square on the left

playing. Playback is jerkier than it should be.

I don't even know any "fancy flags". I'm just trying to get something to 
work. And the error messages are incredibly unhelpful...
