I am thinking about implementing approval voting - this could easily be done by the time the polls open at the end of the week. This would be done by allowing voters the option of selecting several nominees instead of just one - the winner would be the nominee with the most votes, i.e. liked by the largest proportion of voters. Thoughts?

This is a known problem with FFDshow, and there is a fix, but unfortunately I can never remember the details off the top of my head. Normally we use another RGB codec such as the CamStudio codec or Lagarith when video dumping, as far fewer problems of this nature crop up. Check the Encoding Guide for more details.
