Crap! I had NO idea there was a 64bit version of VLC. Gotta grab that!
Thanks!!

thanks for the 64bit link. I've been using GOM because it was easy to enable multiple instances, but I'll give VLC another look. I used to use it at work all the time.

I just tried this workaround. It worked when I tried it with Disney's Maleficent:

I was able to make a 1.6 gig MP4 image of the movie, but I could not use your settings on this old machine (Intel mobo with 8 gigs of ram, 2 Xeon 2.8 GHz cpu's). In your pic, you showed a setting called "Large File Size". My copy of Handbreak did not have that setting. I experimented by encoding only a 1 minute segment of the movie with some different settings. I ended up using Normal which took ~5 hours to encode. Looks great using Windows media player as a MP4 format. Not so good using VLC. Need to figure out why it looks like crap in VLC.

If I used your settings, it would take 16 hours to encode.
