I'm not sure that it will help. You can try to use bigger value for -r option (for ex., 24) - it will encode slower but produce _much_ better results in the motion scenes compared to default (16). AFAIK maximum is 32. > > you can use tcmplex from > > transcode to multiplex any interval you want - it doesn't understand > > mpeg2enc splits and will just ignore them ;-) > > Good point. > But...

(tcmplex with > mjpegtools, or mplex with native transcode MPEG codec) transcode doesn't have native MPEG codec :-) It uses bbmpeg or mpeg2enc - depends on the command line switches ;-))) tcmplex works fine with streams produced by mpeg2enc - but doesn't understand mpeg2enc splits and works a bit slower than mplex. At least these were the only differences I've noticed. Oh, one more difference - vcdimager ("stable", 0.6.x) can crash on the file produced by mplex and doesn't crash on the file from tcmplex. Though it is vcdimager bug, newer versions (0.7.14) don't have the bug.
