Thanks for that - I couldn't see the wood for the trees. The fact that I haven't gotten to bed before 2am for the past week probably wasn't helping. A fresh pair of eyes always helps in cases like this. > Since you supplied an _input filename_ to mpeg2enc, it is trying > to read a YUV4MPEG2 stream from "silence.m2a", and that is failing > (because, I assume, it is an MPEG audio stream). Yep on both counts. It's all completely and abundantly consistent and clear, as it should have been to me last night.

For the purposes of this particular exercise I don't need to do the SAR scaling. That is, its omission in this case is deliberate.
