Of course we are (at least I am) interested ;) I didn't participate in 
this thread because I simply didn't know a good answer myself...

Sounds reasonably.

Good question. I need to crawl through CVS (and my mail archives) - 
probably I find some hints why I decided to do it this way (the 
correspondent code wasn't touched since ages... ;). The whole MPEG stuff
is a bit mysterious to me, in particular because I use dvd::rip's MPEG 
encoding facilities not by myself (apart for testing purposes ;). So I 
appreciate any hints to make things better.
