I only buy used processors and mainboards. I think buying a new one is throwing money in the litter.

In avidemux, I converted the above file to mpeg using the option of ffmpeg, 2 pass and audio as AC3. Now this file (is it cbr?) shows 40 minutes in mplayer *but* the same 33 minutes in xine. But now I managed to make chapters in qdvdauthor as I see a duration of 40 minutes in it, so I managed to burn a DVD. Still, mpeg2dec shows fewer frames of this file than original type2 DV which had 73313 frames.
