Hi- Darn-not ready for sticky status yet, I guess. I just tried it again, though, and it worked fine. So JohnMK, is your GKnot version up to date? Try something else. Before you hit Load, open the Encoder Tab, and check to see if the Bits Per Pixel is being written out as you hit Load. I've been fooling around some more, and as you said, it doesn't always give me the percentage. But it always gives me Bits Per Pixel in the Encoder Tab. So, take that and divide it into Bits/(Pixel*Frame) on the main screen (after setting Total File Size back to what it will be for the final movie, and filling in the Audio File Size and Overhead). That should give you the percentage. For example, I've got 0.447 Bits Per Pixel in the Encoder Tab and 0.264 Bits/(Pixel*Frame)=0.590=59.0%
