I found a bug in MM2

Hi, I think I've found a bug in MM2 (but I'm not sure if it's already
reported).

I've imported a tape (Sony Handcam DCR-HC18E), then I started my MM project.
I've put clips, subtitles, titles, transaction, effects.
Then I click on "Save video...". The output format is DV-AVI.
But the MM gives the infamous error message "The video cannot be saved: ...".
Then I tried to investigate the problem by splitting my project in small
pieces.
I found that the problem is this:

when a clip contains as initial frame the last frame of previous clip, MM
refuses to encode the movie and interrupts the encoding.

Then I solved by removing the 1st and 2nd frame of the clip and doing split
clip and erasing that 2 frames (I cannot split one frame :( )

Doing this it solved my problem.

I tried to duplicate what you say, but can't... can you explain more? Is
your source file DV-AVI or WMV? How did you split the clips so you have a
frame in the second one?... manually in the collection or on the timeline?
