I've been using avidemux2, which doesn't seem to have any command line
options. I'll take a look at avidemux. Couldn't really tell you why I'm
using one and not the other. 

When I mess with a nuv file with avidemux2 it always says there is a
66ms offset and saves the files accordingly (i guess). So maybe that's
why I haven't noticed an issue with mplex. The again, I've only done it
a handful of times. 

I will take a look at nuvexport and see if that works for me. I would
definitely be interested in what Chris wrote about automatically
creating a DVD with menus of several shows.
