TMPGEnc and video control

[kthomas@p...]

When I convert the separate streams into a .mpeg with tmpgenc, there 
is no slider control or ff/rw when playing the file. It is also 
impossible to convert it again with virtualdub which reports a packing 
error (though it plays under WMP just fine).

Is there some way to get the slider working? Does another piece of 
software perform the integration OK? Do I have to use mplex under 
Linux (not a big probnlem but I'd like to know before trying)?

Something tells me I might be learning a lot more about mpeg data than 
I was intending to in the near future.

BTW, for a newer version of extractstream, I would recommend that a 
server be placed on the Tivo which simply serves up pieces of the 
stream to the client as requested. If the streams are stored as 
blocks, the client should request blocks directly. This would allow 
the transfer to be slowed sufficiently that it would not (hopefully) 
impact the normal operation of the Tivo (as ExtractStream does at the 
moment even at nice 20)
