Gert, Robert, Thanks very much for the LPCM feedback. It is *extremely* interesting to get real feedback on some of these fiddly issues. Just a quick question: are the noise problems Robert had with a hardware player or software? If hardware, this would indicate there is a 'funny' alignment

Okay, since I didn't have my original material anymore and re-encoding the VCD is not really an option, I used a sledgehammer solution. I created an a couple of frames long, black video sequence and put it at the beginning of each video file. mplex then recognizes it as video stream and although i
