        You're welcome - hope it was of some (little) use.

        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.

        And as another chap mentioned - there's the "mpgjoin" program 
        from mpgtx.sourceforge.net that might do what  you want.

        The ISO specs? ;)  Or the sources to mplex/mpeg2enc/libmpeg2 ;)

        Or better yet a GUI program with a sliderbar that you could move
        thru the video and place chapter points (something like what
        DVD Studio Pro does :)).

        I wasn't thinking of this particular encoding run but rather of
        future ones.   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.

        mpgjoin will deal with the video.  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
