Yes, you probably need to change your %STARTTIME% to %STARTTIMEUTC%.
But your old files will still be using local time instead of UTC time
- the upgrade to 0.26 does not change all the old file names.  So you
really should be using %FILE% somehow - if hx264xcode is a script,
change how it works so you can use %FILE%.  If not, you might have to
write a script to wrap around it.
