BUT, it works fine when I change my settings to the following:
Fast encoding (1-pass), Fixed Bitrate 1200, 29.97fps, Audio 128, Volume 300%, 640x352.

Go figure?? Tonight I'm going to experiment more with those settings to fine tune my backups, namely, I would rather use the 2-pass and 1500 fixed bitrate.
