No, because the libmpeg3 sucks. It hangs on many different MPEG-2
streams. Like the ones from the Kfir-Chip. There's trouble with the
timestamps. You are not able to import MPEG-2 streams into BC2000. And
MPEG-2 is not the format of your choice for video editing. It eats too
much performance for decoding single frames.
