I rooted out an old windows box and dusted it off to verify, and of course my result was the same. Also Gopchop and Gopdit both like the file, but avidemux doesn't. All the linux players (vlc, mplayer, xine, etc. seem to be right friendly with it). Mencoder has no problem with it. I'm sure there's a fairly straightforward way to run it through something that will be acceptable to the utility of your choice. Project-X might even have a setting that would do the trick. Certainly, mpeg-4 files encoded with mencoder from the mpeg-2 files output by Project-X are viewed without problem by Windows Media Player. Maybe I'll try running mencoder on it and telling it to output an mpeg-2 to see if that will stick the headers on or whatever it wants, without re-encoding. -James > Kirk > > James Nickerson wrote: > > I thought there might be others who would appreciate Project-X as much as > > I have: http://www.lucike.info/page_projectx.htm > > > > I had a deuce of a time trying to find a non-reencoding editor to use to > > trim recordings.
