They are larger, but for Mjpeg the CPU-Load is much lesser and editing should 
be easier to do with it.

Thanx so I mustn't try it ;-)

Since I was interested in play around with that , that you want to do I surfed 
trough freshmeat a while. Where are mainactor for Linux, but since it is crap 
just under win I don't know if it is worth to try it. 2 interested Programms 
I read about are jashaka and Kino. I don't know if Kino can load other than 
DV-avis. Since DV has a fixed Bitrate near 3,6 MB/s you wont try it ;-). 
Yashaka looks impressive on their website, but I don't know how much really 
work of the described features. 

The last I have to say. I looked at the xmmp-Site and installed this tool. In 
this package there is a crappy video-Player called mplayer, so I think some 
of the real mplayer-developer want to speak with them, to change the name of 
the mediaplayer of them.
