So you have to do it a other way round like: Make 2 Editlists where each list has the have number of frames. If you like to do some math (this only works if you have a CBR Stream) you know the bitrate (1152kBit/sec), and the length. So you can easy calculate how large the video will be and set the correct split point. Don't forget to add the audio bitrate !!! > So the sequence header should be set exactly in the middle of the movie. > I don't want to retranscode the file so what can I do to manually split > it? You have sequence header every GOP !!!! If you split it with the mplex -S option or with some tool like mpegtx (=manual split). It won't work very likely with a HW-Player because mpeg2enc marks the stream at a suitable point, where mplex can easy create matching runin/runout header. > Notice that I need padding.

You need that sequence headers for seeking and other things when you want to play it back on a HW-device (DVD-Player). mplex does not fill any information into that spaces. That is done by vcdimager. If you are looking for differnet solutions to that problem take a look, or search, the mailinglist archive. auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ValueWeb: Dedicated Hosting for just $79/mo with 500 GB of bandwidth!
