Yes I did. Of course, I tried everything _before_ starting to overclock, I'm
not stupid ;-) No, I'm 100% sure it is not the overclocking doing this.

I agree. I mentioned the overclocking just as trivia as to how I built this
two-card software encoding system. But I can assure you that the same thing
happened at normal speed, just with a somewhat higher CPU load then. ;-)
Even then, how would you explain the slight frequency offset (while recording
et al works fine otherwise) by the fact of overclocking...? I can imagine a
lot of things when you start pushing hardware, but this is not one of them...
