You can do this in Womble but they aren't almuch smoothed as the transitions used by GL.

Even the cheapest programs will allow you to do that. The ones in Windows Movie Maker are satisfactory, but you can only save your files as DV-AVIs.
"The things that stick in my mind and make me laugh were, like, memos worried about whether or not the Wookie should have pants. They're looking at this thing and saying, "Couldn't he have some lederhosen?" This is great. Of all the things to worry about, the Wookie has no pants." -Mark Hamill

I think Marvolo wants to keep it as an MPEG, which really limits ones options. Anything other than a hard cut on the transition edge would require serious recoding, which is what would happen if you saved it as an AVI.

I do not want to leave it as an MPEG if it is going to limit my options.

Well, you will have to re-encode to MPEG then, which means some (but not a tremendous) loss of visual quality. It's a trade-off. You might want to try it both ways, and see which method gives you a better result.
