hi: In responce to earlier post, i have vcd gear for checking files {mpeg error}. which i have no errors reported. everytime i try to cut the end of a mpeg1 file off, Tmpg will not do the whole file, it will not encode to the end. Do i have to re-encode mpeg 1 for size first, through Tmpg, then go to cutting to get parts out? also when i try to demulipex the same file, Tmpg won"t encode the full file always comes up short. Thanks again for any ideas. bob
