Weird Visual Glitch

[181]

Okay, weird video bug for 5 anime ep's. I get video glitches in the form of blocky splotches at odd times, though they are corrected after a few seconds. Oddly, these glitches only appear when the video is played on the iPod, none of the glitches appear when it is played in MPC or iTunes.
Here's the log for the worst offender, ep 2:

Try a profile that has 'AVISynth' in the title.
Also, turn-off auto-resize and use a width & height of 320x176.

[181]

Yeah...
Every time I try to use AviSynth (regardless of the file), I get error code 102817. I've tried different settings using AviSynth, but none of them work. I've tried completely different files, but none of them work.

[fetterz24]

I've had the exact same problem. Anyone know what this is or how to stop it?

[Midiman]

Try using an mpeg4 profile instead of h.264.

[181]

I already said I tried to use MPEG4 instead of H264. Neither work.

[Sketch]

Does the manual resize help?

Also, could you post an AVISynth log, please?

[181]

Okay, I understood what was being said last night. MPEG4 encoding fixes the glitch. However, nothing that uses AviSynth works at all. I will get a 102817 code whether I try to encode the vids with H264+AviSynth or MPEG4+AviSynth.
