I've encoded a movie and it looks great as usual, but the credits are screwed up. If you play them with Divx filter, it looks like I've used MPEG quantizer, but I've used H.263 in both passes. When I play it with XviD, instead of green spots I see white spots covering all the black background except the white characters. The problem starts in the exact same frame than the subtitles.
I've used the credits encoding option at 10%, with Koepi's 0204 build.
Later I reencoded the subtitles with 1 pass at 40% to append them to the movie and everything went fine.
Is this a known problem? I've encoded some movies with older builds and never had this problem.

Ok, I've found the problem, when I encoded the credits with a very low desired % rate (like 15 or 20%), the credits were completely screwed. I increased that value to 50+ and it started to work fine. Now I'm encoding credits with I/P quantizer = 20 and it also works fine.

Really? Hm that's weird, I really should look at credits again some time heh.
