Export to .mpg.

[John Corliss]

While attempting to use TMPGEnc to cut out an unneeded portion of an
..mpg file, I got an error message that the program couldn't open the
file for editing and that it was an unsupported format. There is so
much "Babel" regarding .mpg files, that I had no idea why this was
happening. To correct the problem, I found and used this program:

http://www.mpeg-mediator.com/

"MPEG Mediator is a free and easy to use MPEG-Video stream converter
released under the GNU General Public License.
MPEG Mediator supports MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 streams (Transport Streams
are not supported) including AC-3, MPEG and LPCM audio-substreams.
MPEG Mediator provides a great amount of flexibility through its use
of 'Flask'-style plugins to output the converted video ('Flask' is a
popular MPEG stream converter)."

After using this program to export the original .mpg file (and I'm not
really sure what changed), I was able to open the new file in TMPGEnc
and remove the portions I didn't like. There was some quality loss,
but it was acceptable.

After thinking about this, I realize that it the problem was probably
due to the encoder originally used on the file. The conversion
corrected the problem.
