The issue seems to have affected people moving from fixes/31 to 
fixes/32. A new build of fixes/32 from github will presumably have

But do you have a need or wish to do the 'transcode'?  I think the 
recent work has been mainly on the 'lossless cut' aspect for mpeg2 
video.  Many of the facilities and options look to be from the analog-tv 
era.
