Great!

Thanks Angel, I've been trying to use transcode (v0.6.12) but have yet 
to be successfull.  It also appears that avidemux2 does not like HDTV 
content either.  I recently joined the 'transcode-users' mailing list 
(gee... I wonder if they have a wiki? ;), so I hope to get more familiar 
with howto use it.  I'm not at this point which might be better suited 
for HDTV content, mencoder, or transcode.

Good luck and keep us up to date on your progress.
