Test results
I tested Band of Brothers Episode 1 using Generic Divx and the settings below. All completed but only the single pass tests worked.
720x404 1-Pass deinterlace Plays correctly
720x404 2-Pass deinterlace WMP did not recognize the codec.
720x480 NTSC 1-Pass deinterlace Plays correctly
720x480 NTSC 2-Pass deinterlace WMP did not recognize the codec.
My gut feeling is that this is not a codec issue. I still need to try out the suggestions that I received when I first reported the issue.
