I run Windows but frequently had exactly the same problems until I d/l 
the current version of the perl script. Now I can get HD again with few 
problems. Just occasionally I get the same problem but it seems to clear 
when I stop the job, delete the partial flv and start again, sometimes 
using the --force switch.
