In fact, the spike in bitrate occurs even if I have two totally black Oh, I misunderstood (or mis-read ;)) your initial report to mean you were jumping from black to full scene. The spike/glitch you're seeing is almost certainly caused by the timestamp discontinuity at the splice point. > That sounds like a good solution - I still have the individual m2v and mp2 > files.

A long time ago I found it saved a lot of grief later by arranging for a continuous feed of Y4M data into the encoder. Of course if you're creating a DVD with multiple tracks/titlesets then each of those can use a separate .mpg file without a problem - it's only the joining together into a single title/track that seems to have problems. > cinelerra.

For the audio I don't know of a way to join mp2 files together. Audio rendering is a lot faster than video - so perhaps creating the sound again as a single file might be a good idea Cheers, Steven Schultz ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
