That's certainly possible; transcode interprets ^C as "stop NOW", not "stop when you're finished with what's in the buffers". If you know the length of the clip ahead of time, you could use -c to ensure you get the right amount; otherwise, wait an extra 20-30 seconds (actually 1024/fps since you use 1024 buffers, so ~35 seconds for NTSC or ~41 seconds for PAL) after the video finishes before pressing ^C, and use -c on the encoding sessions to specify the exact frame range you want to keep. On the other hand, I have to admit I'd be surprised if you actually made use of even 10-20 seconds of buffers without ending up with dropped frames somewhere. What does the buffer status line (the part at the end of the progress line that reads "( 1| 2| 3) or the like) look like while you're capturing, i.e. how high do any of the numbers go? --Andrew Church [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://achurch.org/
