audio no, I'd like to figger it out though.  I've got a windows program
that does wav to mpg, and I found an au to mpg that doesn't work for
sour owl sh*; it may be pilot error though.

video yes!  My big problem here is a) transferring gobbs of frames from
the macintoy people that have frame grabbers, and/or b) convincing
my boss that I really need a matrox.

I just grabbed the latest mpeg_encode from ucb, compiled and ran.
it's pretty trivial, they've got several sample parameter files,  that
you can hack from.

as for cool mpeg utilities-
have a look-see at http://www.visiblelight.com/mpeg/resource/software/source/un
ix.htp

`mpeg_edit' kind of works. It's supposed to let you do
`fade to black', `screen wipes', and what not, but its
got some problems. Someone that knows C++ really
needs to look at it.

mpeg_encode works fine.

most of the other utilities that I tried compiled and ran.

eric.
