trying to convert mpeg2 to dv

[Dieter]

I'm trying to convert some mpeg2 video to dv format.
Looks like transcode should be able to do it, but

   transcode -x mpeg2 -y dvraw

grinds away but doesn't generates any output, and

   transcode -x mpeg2 -y dv

gives Segmentation fault.

So I recompile transcode and look at the compiler warnings and find:

   libxio.c:707: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size

cat -n work/transcode-1.0.0rc1/libxio/libxio.c | grep 707
   707          _handles[ret_fd]->data = (void *)open(pathname, flags, mode);

I have to agree with the compiler, casting a file descriptor to a pointer
seems wrong, and likely to generate a seg fault if "data" is later treated
as a pointer.  So, edit libxio.c add a debug printf to see if the code
actually gets executed, type make and nothing happens.  Nice makefile.

So before I burn too much time chasing this, should transcode work
the way I think it should, or am I doing something wrong?

The transcode man page isn't clear on the difference between dv and dvraw?

Are there alternatives to transcode I should be looking at?
