Where did you find mp1e 1.8.0-pre3, Brian? I have only been able to find 1.7.1. I have been playing around with the 1.7.1 version for a while and am pretty pleased with it. What is the process you used to generate VCD images from mp1e encoded video streams? vcdpad 0.8 seems not to like the MPEG files mp1e creates, running it on one creates an empty output file. Both vcdtools and vcdimages complain when their input is not padded at a 2324th byte. Also, gtv, part of the smpeg package, plays mp1e generated files well. Some people mentioned that mtv was the only player that worked well in conjunction with mp1e. -- W. Michael Petullo :wq
