The AVI is the long-term preservation copy for the archive - and the  
MPEG is just the proxy copy.
The AVI was transcoded from a digital lossy source, which is the  
reason why the 2997/100 silently sneaked in. Since the AVI is *the*  
archive copy, I want them to be "clean" - which means that if I have  
NTSC fps, I want all files to behave the same way, and not "some" like  
this and "some" like that... ;)

I'd love to use ffmpeg for transcoding, but as I've mentioned in  
previous posts here already, I couldn't use ffmpeg for handling  
multiple AVI segments as input files (000.avi, 001.avi, ...) in one  
step. Mencoder can do this - *and* I've verified that it's not losing  
any frames and/or audio-samples.

As I know, you've told me that mencoder is practically unmaintained,  
I'm also not happy with the current situation, but as I've understood  
the threads about splitting/concatenating files with ffmpeg, it's not  
going to change - right?

Thanks,
