Hello,

I thought it was possible for cdxa2mpeg to work on a file without creating a 
new one, that's why I entered something like

 cdxa2mpeg -v file1.mpg file1.mpg

which resulted in the original file being overwritten and cdxa2mpg complaining 
about and unexpected end of file. If the program really needs to create a new 
file (could that be changed?), it should - I think - at least warn the user 
that actions as the one described are not possible.

I am using cdxa2mpeg (GNU VCDImager) 0.7.19-cdio on SuSE 8.2

Thank you, Gunnar :)
