Hi Jim
genrally my uk streams seem ok but there are some thing things that 
seem to break the tools that are out there. 
1) VBR
2) quality other than best
3) converting from live buffer

what seems to end up in the file are a load of odd block types
you can pick some up at 
http://freespace.virgin.net/tivo
there is a stream called bad.ty
