isn't there a version of test-mpeg2 that comes with the libiec package?
I think if you search for libraw1349 and download all 3 source packages
and install, you get a test-mpeg2 and also plugreport etc.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/10/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Steve Adeff</b> <<a href="mailto:adeffs@gmail.com">adeffs@gmail.com</a>> wrote:
