Need to edit media mostly in .MTS format in a community group environment trying to produce documentaries. With the patches I've sent, I can use cinelerra alone for the whole production - .MTS to DNXHD/.ac3 which can then be edited. The command line tools are difficult to teach. Now only the final conversion to needed formats needs the command-line tools which can be scripted. But it is far less messy to compose the final cut now, and that too with much less disk space and far better quality - with the ffmpeg reader working. And easier for others in my group to use. A single-window solution! AC3 encoding now works as mentioned in another mail to the list.
