yes, I see the green line no matter what settings I choose for -vf
options.  I have not however, tried to change the settings for
x264encopts at the same time.  Maybe it is this that causes problem when
used with Yadif?  Note that if I use kerndeint with my x264encopts then
I do not get a green line or green artefacts in the image.

I said in previous mail:

"...green band at the bottom of the film..."

It is quite a thin line and it fluctuates whilst playing the movie.  I also see some green coloured artefacts in the film in different places.  I also wrote that I would be willing to upload an image so you could see what I mean.  Can I attach an image to list mail?
