I don't know of any of the coding pitfalls, but I know that one reason this has been somewhat dismissed before is because of the "legal" issues involved.
Another pitfall is the time involved in re-encoding, and the loss of quality from re-encoding something again. If GOB chopping was avail. this would save time and the original quality. If you get this working, I know of a TON of people that would want this!!! Please let me know when/if you do! -Mat On 5/16/05, Harvard Pan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I like keeping my stuff in the MPEG2 format that my PVR-350's spit > out.
