Seems a good choice. Podcast formats are another topic which I also need to learn about.

I would guess you will find most Cinelerra users on this list running in 64 bit. So it sounds like worthwhile work... And now you can keep up to date and keep compiling with the latest svn - once it gets stable again. I have found that to be invaluable... I don't believe you get any more working render codecs or other advantages running Cinelerra 32 bit. > sorta relative here :P If it restarts from crashes, succeeds in > recovering it's backup, and generally completes large renders if they > are done to formats known to work, it's 'stable' IMHO.

Remember there is no subsitute for having manually saved project files as backup too - Cinelerra only backs up 1 generation/version of your project and it is possible to accidentally have a blank project backed up over your real saved project. As far as 14hour renders go I find if I can render a 30 second section of footage then I can then set it to work on 30minutes of footage with no risk... > > I've found that quicktime container with dv and mpeg audio works, and > plays back in mplayer.

Can't help you with command lines but there is plenty of good help out there for mencoder... glad you are seeing the positive in your experience...
