For those of you on this mailgroup who use my TivoApp, I finally sat 
down to take a look at the audio popping problems in TivoApp and 
nailed it down. I can now convert over to MPEG, and at least in 
PowerDVD, the video plays cleanly. This was caused by an audio 
packet that had a different type in the tystream header, and my code 
was being a little too picky. You try to do error checking and look 
what happens!

This also incorporates some of the smaller fixes, like the problems 
with the & in the show name (this was fixed about 3 weeks ago), and 
how the "Use program name" feature had been used.

I am starting to look at using some of the audio conversion tools 
like mpglib (the DLL version of mpg123), and perhaps lame to convert 
the audio into a format that is more compatible with DVD's 44.1Khz. 
I'll be continuing to look at the DVD decoder compatibility too.

Thanks for the patience waiting for this to get fixed, and I hope 
you continue to enjoy to tool! You can find the most recent version
