Hello Simeon, That works. Much better than using the pipe with mpeg2enc, which always resulted in errors, no matter what settings I used in the format as well as the parameters passed to mpeg2enc. I have been busy in the mean time and found that exporting to mov or mkv or avi, using a variety of codecs, and then using ffmpeg to convert the result to mpg also does the trick. But in all cases (also when I follow your advise) something strange happens: when playing the movie, there is a little pause whem the border between two scenes is crossed. You see, for purpose of testing, I used 5 pieces of footage in the timeline, one after another and no gaps in between.So there are 4 places where a new scene starts and always this little pause occurs when passing this border, a pause that last no longer than a fraction of a second but is still very noticable.
Is this typical for mpeg footage?
