So you are going to tell me, the files that worked flawlessly before on the same machine, are suddenly encoded incorrectly? 

You said “with the only hiccup being that in two files near the beginning, …” – that’s not what I would call flawlessly.

Yes, flawlessly, before, right out of the box.

Since downgrading to the oldest firmware I could get for the machine, I had those two hiccups, but nothing since.

For all I know the firmware I downgraded to is not the original, but it IS the oldest available on the site linked above.
