But I myself worked with MPEG-2 video right in cinlelerra for quite some time. Playback may stutter when the system is overloaded (in my case that was HDV video, so the system was overloaded with anything beyond a single stream). But, either if you single-step through your material, or if you render it, the results should work 100% perfect. Thus I'd propose to concentrate on the input fromat, and how to get it into Cinelerra first. That is also because the output side provides a lot of options and unfortunately there isn't just an option in Cinelerra "make me a DVD with maxium quality". That is one of the most frequently requested features, there was even a bounty set on this, but thats another topic alltogether... For me, there where one key hurdle to get the (in my case HDV) MPEG video into Cinelerra: Cinelerra seemed to get problems with addressing single frames in the MPEG-TS. There is an external tool shipped with Cinelelerra: "mpeg3toc" This needs to be run *once* on your material, preferably in right in the folder where the media files will reside throughout the project. This tool then generates an "index" file, which can be used by cinelerra for frame accurate addressing. This file has the same name as the original file, but with extension *.toc. And pleas note: you then import *this TOC file* into cinelerra. The TOC internally records the path where the original media resides. After performing this procedure once (takes some time), I had no problems working frame accurately right on the original footage without quality loss. I don't know it this addresses your problem, but its worth a try. hope that helps...
