OK, so I've just about got there. It seems a somewhat awkward process,
but I have a suitably trimmed video with a static splash image at the
start and end. I can't work out any way of fading between the splash
images and the video, but I guess I can live with a hard change for
now. However, I don't have any control over the final exported clip.
It doesn't matter whether I select mjpeg or ffv1, or what frame size
or rate I select. The exported clip is always exactly the same (in my
case, huge -- far too large to sensibly upload to youtube, for
example). This is with mencoder_encoder, which seems to be the only
one I have installed.
