ircombine is used to create .cmb files from .vof files,
these are downloadable combinations of various formats/channels.
It cannot be used to create new .vof files.

You can do a few other things with ircombine like change the managed
area size, DVR a vof from a lower resolution channel or scan convert and
encode to composite NTSC or PAL, this is also stored in the .cmb file.

There is a seperate vof compiler which will probably only be supplied
to video experts, see earlier postings by Javier.

Rgds,
Angus.
