MPEG header error

[zeetivo]

I don't know if this will help, but I have used tyconvert and
tyc (linux version of tyconvert) with success. Can't help
with what your using because I've never used it.

Just search the group for tyc. Extract the raw ty streams.

If you don't have sucess with that post again and I'll 
try to help.

Good luck, it's really cool once you get things working.
