Felix,
Being very upfront, you have also come across not particularly well to
my reading in this thread. You have been fairly demanding of what you
are willing, or unwilling to try.
I'll agree with what I think you are saying: nothing you say is
particularly rude. But you are very terse and abrupt, and that comes
across, to me, as ungrateful. Compare what you did write above, with
how I might have phrased it:
bram, I think I am confused about what file you are suggesting I
open
with streamclip. There are no files with an .mpeg (or similar)
extension after the program exits.
There is a file in the output dir. Is this what you are
suggesting I run streamclip on? If so, I'm confused, as
it is the result of the same 70% complete failure.

Now, for something practical.
If you are trying to get something off a DVD, why not use vobcopy,
lsdvd, and dvdbackup directly? Simple and direct.
Otherwise, it seems like you may be re-encoding the material into the
same codec, which
isn't usually what you want to do.
