Something I discovered about TMPGEnc today

I'm not asking for help more than posting the solution to the problem I had.
I captured a movie from VHS to DVD MPEG2 yesterday and I decided I wanted to make new opening credits for it because I didn't like the way the original credits looked, using Ulead Video Studio 7. I cut the beginning off using the MPEG tools of TMPGEnc and encoded the resulting new MPEG. Eight hours later, when I went to join the new opening credits I had made and the resulting new encoded MPEG, TMPGEnc told me that the two videos were not compatible. After going through all sort of rigamorole trying to figure out why (every video ID program I had said they matched) I tried capturing a test MPEG and merging it with the credits. It worked.
The lesson here - do not cut a file with MPEG tools and expect to merge the resulting file with another video file. It won't work.

No, it won't
The easiest way (although not the best way) is to run the offending clip through TMPGEnc and encode at the same settings you did the other.

Man, I love that word
I bet a thousand pounds you're in the UK, probably North of England, right?
