Alright, several tries later I now know the pygame accepts only MPEG program stream containers, with MPEG1 video and MPEG2 audio. I found that the command mencoder -of mpeg -ovc lavc -oac lavc \ -lavcopts acodec=mp2:vcodec=mpeg1video:vbitrate=5000 -o new.mpg old.avi successfully creates such files. I'm off to play video puzzle now! -- No animal was harmed in the composition of this message. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
