Some information says you can cat them into one file, but others say that&#8217;s not good.  mplayer played the catted file, but dvdauthor didn&#8217;t like it.  I tried <a href=\"http:\/\/mpgtx.sourceforge.net\/\">mpgtx<\/a>.  This is a tool to split and join MPEG files.

This makes mplex generate a system header in every pack rather than just in the first.
