Hi Scott
Sorry if I was a bit too vague. I have used ProjectX for about 10 years now
without a problem, mainly as a quick way to edit out adds but also to
resynchronise video and sound. I use it mainly on transport stream output
from Kaffeine (m2t files). Its default output of the edited files (ie
without using the demux option) is as an mpg2 file.
I don't think it would be a suitable tool for eliminating the station logo.
Mplayer/mencoder might but it would be a complex process. Regards Norm
