Is anyone else having this problem?

I downloaded the season finale (LOL version like all my other eps), converted it to a better format (using the same program and same specs I ALWAYS do), opened it today in Premiere and noticed something odd.

It's in letterbox format (like all my other eps) right up until the last few minutes (right after Charlie and Sayid come back with the baby) when it suddenly goes back to fullscreen mode (complete with black bars on the right and left side)!!!

WTF? Anyone else notice this?

Although I don'T have that problem
are your sure the final is ok?
maybe it didn'T finish it'S work when you made it smaler?

I had a different problem, in exodus I or so, at the ending the sound goes weird, because the soundis about 3 seconds or ore AFTER the clips that belong to it >>;;;

It does it in the original too. I wish I'd noticed it before I wasted all that time encoding it! It's perfectly fine right up until the Others take Walt and RIGHT after that scene it's like it's suddenly become a different file! Black bars on the sides and of a lesser quality.

I think I'm going to try to find another version of it somewhere else, cuz I can't do with having an entire season in the exact same format save for the last 5 freaking minutes!

Managed to crop the sides of the last 6 mins or so and fixed the problem!

If any of you are stuck with the version of Exodus Pt. 2 that snaps to fullscreen for the last few minutes and would like the last few minutes in widescreen, here's the file:

It's about 22 MB, avi format.

If you need it converted to wmv or something just let me know, I'd be happy to convert it and reupload it for you.

I have the exact same problem! I thought it was going to just revert back to 320 x 240 when I was working on the Aug contest. Oh well, the council will just have to deal because I spent a lot of time on it and I don't want to do it over

Thanks for posting the link too, I shall grab that.
