1. MPEG2 support for progressive sequences frame (-F 0) and field-interlaced (-F 3) is now well tested. Field sequences (-F 1 and -F 2) appear to be working but aren't yet thoroughly tested and lack some recent optimisations available for progressive sequences. 2. Currently the VCD HR Stills muxing stuff assumes *all* HR stills are the same size which is given in the initial vbv_buffer_size... This will work with mpeg2enc (which does this) but will fail fail fail with other streams. 3. The VBVbuffer delay code in the MPEG encoder is hopeless broken. It is currently turned off and needs re-implementing from scratch. Not urgent though since no decoder ever seems to take any notice of it. Certainly I never figured out the the damn thing would be useful for once your mux-er has checked for /ensured video buffer size bounding. 4. mpeg2enc is currently broken for 422 and 444 video. The problem is that the calculations for checking chrominance in the the motion compensation search assume 2-pel sub-sampled U and V in X and Y. 5. lavplay, lavrec seek problem when you have movies that are longer than 2:30, they play back well but the slider in glav does not work proper when about 2:30 is reached 6. zoran card/lavrec problem on modern machines. It works only if you don't have more than 2GB of Ram. A patch exists but didn't make into the kernel. The Patch does not apply well on a newer Kernel thatn 2.6.20 7. mjpegtools do not compile when you have X11 an SDL installed. And disable SDL with a configure option. 8. 2.6.38 Kernels don't have v4l(1) any more. So lavrec does not work any more. Actually you can't compile lavrec. the configure script detects that and disables lavrec if the kernel headers for v4l are not found. lavrec should be updated to us v4l2
