Re: [QDVDAuthor-users] mplex doesn't work with video file extracted from mplayer

[Dr. M. M. A. <mma...@cs...>]

I have tried before the solution you yourself tried. IMHO using avidemux is a
much better option so far as my experience goes. You can get it at
http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/

I am an Ubuntu user myself. So, it is expected that avidemux is installed in
your computer.
