Re: any problems with mpeg2 ?
Yes, it would be good to know what kind of problems people have encountered while using mpeg-2.
Just one remark about the warning in the ELAN guide. The intention is not so much to discourage the use of mpeg-2 (it's quality is often necessary) but rather to be aware of possible technical problems.
To use mpeg-2 on MacOS Apple's MPEG-2 Component is needed. This seems to work well.
On Windows a mpeg-2 codec for Windows Media Player needs to be installed. There are many manufacturers of such codecs and they are sometimes installed with a video editing program or a software DVD-Player. It is impossible to know and test them all, but some of the known problems are: a lack of frame accuracy and strange artifacts when playing mpg-1 (only sound, no images, no slow-motion playback etc.).
This is then out of the control of ELAN.
