Ah, that's a good way to view things. I should have thought of that analogy. > and that smilutils has something like lav2yuv? 'smil2yuv' to be exact ;) Along with 'smil2wav' (to extract the audio), 'smil2raw' to export a DV stream from a .smil (edit list) file, and so on - quite a few nifty programs comprise the smilutils. > And that the output of dvgrab/kino/smilutils can be fed into the MJPEG suite > of utilities much like I do with the output from lavrec/glav/lav2yuv? Bingo! Yep - in simple form it's smil2yuv -a audiofile.wav input.dv | \ y4mscaler -O ... | \ yuvdenoise | ... \ yuvmedianfilter ... | \ ... \ | mpeg2enc -f 8 ... (I'll spare you the informatin overload about how smilutils can use ffmpeg's DV decoder to get slightly better quality/speed, ... ;)) Instead of a raw .dv file you could use a '.smil' file which is the counterpart to ".eli" - it's an edit list that specifies frame ranges. I've found, and maybe others will chime in, DV very easy to work with - you've got _1_ choice of frame size/quality/whatever, no worries about field order (DV is bottom field first. Period), and the DV converters seem to handle unsteady analog signals better than other devices (which tend cause A/V sync issues when the signal is unsteady), and so on.
