        !             5: Q) Why are my MPEG files 0 bytes long?

        !            12: Q) What kind of streams are generated?

        !            17: Q) Why does the build process fail for me?
        !            18: A) Maybe you already have i2c and v4l linux stuff in your kernel
        !            19:    and on your system, which may interfere with the building
        !            20:    of the optional modules.
        !            21:    Uncomment the $(MX_OBJS) part in line 6 of driver/Makefile like this:
        !            22:    obj-m        = $(M_OBJS) # $(MX_OBJS)

        !            25: Q) How can I edit the mpeg streams?
        !            26: A) Kees Cook's GOPChop is an excellent choice.
        !            27:    See http://outflux.net/unix/software/GOPchop/
        !            28:    GOPChop works just fine with kfir generated streams.
