If that is your requirement, then, yes, no mpeg2 compression system will be able to meet that requirement. > The DVDAuthor project should borrow some of your code, because > DVDAuthor is unable to properly join MPEG2 streams together...

Actually, that's not my code, I just use it to edit my pvr250 output. But, yet, it will "join" mpeg2 streams if you want it to, because it can extract raw mpeg streams and raw mp3 streams from the various mpeg2 files. Then I just use mplex to put them back together into an mpeg2 video. > >And as far as the image quality being too low, I'm not sure what > >you've seen, but my PVR250's put out simply beautiful pictures. > >If I > > I know the picture quality is good.

And like I said above, if that is a requirement, then the pvr250's won't work for what you require. In which case, I'd have to agree with Steven, the Canopus boxes are your best bet. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
