I was having a lot of problems with ExtractStream originally. The latest
CVS tree actually didn't help at all. The only way I was able to get ES to
work for me (I do raw extractions, BTW) was to use a different version of
ES that Gary compiled for me. I'm running TiVo 2.0.1, which should be the 
norm for SA units.

The pre-compiled ExtractStream is in the tympeg zip you can get at the
below URL. BTW, don't try tyMpeg unless you have a lot of memory. There
is a known memory leak/consumption of about 1/2 of the size of the tystream
it is processing. :( I'm working on it...
