	It has been a very useful program to me.

	Only if you want something other than MPEG-2 ;)  If you want to keep
	the data as MPEG-2 instead of decoding and re-encoding to another format
	then all that needs to be done is re-multiplex the elementary streams
	produced by the 'demux' command in ProjectX.

	Hmmm - I thought it worked for creating new TS streams as well.  Seemed
	to work the one time I tried that (by mistake ;)).

	It depends what format you are creating.  If you're creating a
	.mp4 file then you can use 'mp4creator' (from mpeg4ip.sf.net) to
	combine mpeg-4 video and audio streams into a .mp4 file.  If you're
	creating some other format then a different multiplexing or combining
	program would be needed.  If you're creating a MPEG-2 program stream
	then there are programs available which can do the multiplexing.  If
	you're creating a ".ogm" file then the programs from ogmtools can
	be used, and so on.

	Good Luck!
