I'm on my last step in the matters of compression, particularly for submission to a convention. Hence, I've been trying to follow Scintilla's
Encoding Your AMV to MPEG for Convention Submission MPEG-2. Unfortunately, after encoding, the first second of the video portion of my amv is played frozen at a single frame (with audio running perfectly), but then proceeds to correct itself after about a second later. What can I do to correct this?
