To quote you, "no offense intended", but why do we need mpeg2 support at all? I did videography work for a few years and never had a need for that. Convert your mpeg to a real editing format and go from there. For that matter, I prefer image sequences. Give me an example of a single program that natively handles mpeg2 video and I'll show you 4 that don't. Premiere, FCP, Flint/Effect, After Effects, they don't. mpeg is a distribution format never, ever, edit in mpeg2 it looks like trash compared to DV and uncompressed video. The only reason I can think of where I'd want mpeg2 is for editing DVDs and hopefully we're reaching for a bigger audience than that. Sure, anyone can create a gui, but who can create a good looking gui that's both fast and intuituve? That's a hard find.
