I can provide you a piece of the avi... sue Adobe ;) But I think it is
valid for OpenDML though. Valid. Nothing more nothing less.

I'll take a look at the persons computer actually doing it. It is a
production company, and we are simply a local broadcasting station. I'm
a software developer, so basically our complete broadcast studio isn't
digital because of we have the money, no way, its because of me not
having the electronical skills to set something up like that ;)

If you can explain how to get Type 1 DV AVI bigger than 2GB... thats
what we are talking about in TV productions.

I wish I stayed with radio :) Yes, complexity of the product increases
untracebly problems.

Maybe a clue: mplayer warns after around 37 seconds in every stream it
goes further in -ni mode because of a bad interpolated stream. Good
index reading might be the case with more players, OpenDML support is
great but if you can't get A/V in sync than the product isn't usuable.
