Ugh....encoding death...
Well, I think I've ended my encoding with something that's reasonable. Ended up at 285MB, which is about average, and the quality is....well, not stunning, but watchable. Even full-screenable, if you're not nee-sama ^_^
It has had the unfortunate side-effect, however, of mulching the brain (not that you'd necessarily be able to tell the difference from my normal mental state, but...) Sentinel was slashy as hell, the day has been pleasantly full of encoding, and I *really* need to start unpacking sometime...
