Hello Scott, Thanks for the information. I see that you had to recode a .mov file to make it acceptable to Cinelerra. You also say that the mjpeg does not live up to quality standards and I think you are right. Besides, I would like to offer footage to Cinelerra that has not been recoded so that the original recording quality is maintained. That is possible because the .tod files that my JVC GZ-HD30 produces are in fact mpeg2 files. When feeding the .tod to avidemux, it is recognize as a MPEG TS. As said in a previous message, I used ffmpeg to convert the .tod file to mpg as Cinelerra accepts it, while avoiding encoding by copying the codecs: fmpeg -i footage.tod -acodec copy -vcodec copy footage.mpg The drawback is the fact that when imported in the Cinelerra timeline, the video part is a few frames longer than the audio part at the end due to the fact that the tail of the audio is apparantly cut. So it is not a synchronization problem. When importing the file footage.mpg to MainActor, everything is all right: video and audio are equally long. So it is not a problem of footage.mpg itself but the way Cinelera looks at it or the way the timeline presents this particular mpeg footage. I am going to experiment a bit more.
