Ok, I am laughing at myself here -- I guess I just thought there 
would be a more techno way to do it(which I am sure there is, but for 
my own info, a watch should work fine :))

Now, you said you use Tivoweb -- have you looked at the resource 
manager in there? I think it tells you the bitrates tivo uses to 
record stuff -- my tympeg is crapping out a lot on ty streams. It 
says "can't find first frame" a lot and just stops. pretty annoying 
becasue I don't know when it will happen. You mentioned that you were 
still working on making the app more tolerant. It this what it does 
when it is being intolerant? When it works, though, it seems to get 
sync. 

And I guess I told you some of my mpgs were being played at a really 
slow pace -- I was wondering if the wrong bitrate info could cause 
that. Check out the tivoweb resource manager and let us know what you 
think.

Oh, and A few of us have been using regular ES lately using the -p 
option and are getting sync in tmpgenc. The docs say -p is no longer 
necessary, but it seems to be working. Any idea or comment on this -- 
try it if you have time -- could it be that these PES header give 
the "muxer" a cue as to how to match them -- I don't know what they 
do -- we are just speculating. THought you might like to know and 
comment though.
