But VIA got better the last 4 years. So that should not be a problem.

Thats correct. You should now read in the mjpehhowto the "Edit the video" section. The created file is only a text file which tells the other mjpegtools which file you have, and which video frames you want to see. If you want a destructiv version, you have to use lavtrans, but forget that tool for now. After you have edited the file and a editlist file you, can start converting the video with the commandline to a mpeg video. I would still recomend that you read at least the "Converting the stream to MPEG or DIVx videos" part till "Creating MPEG1 Videos". And than the part you need to create the output format you want. > I haven't tried any of the other CLI commands yet - there are so many > concepts to understand, and in trying to troubleshoot this I haven't > been able to give enough time to learning them. There is only one concept, of piping, which makes the mjpegtools rather flexible. If you have a editlist you want to encode you can also use LVS for assambing a command together and encode it than with LVS. I would also reccomend that you take a look at the script LVS can create to see which commands are executed, and how the commmands chains look like. auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
