I have a 100% working split program for both SA and DTivo...

Yeah. I like things to be right and I guess I have different ideas 
about things than others. But that is ok. They are a good group of 
people that have really come through in a crunch for me. So I ignore 
the taunts and leave things in the alpha state... Beta soon though... 
Just a little more testing. :)

For now for the beta/alpha people it would be a zip file containing 
all of my tools:

Linux - VSplit11a
Linux - TyFileSplit
Win32 - VSplit11a
Win32 - TyFileSplit
Tivo - mfs_stream
Tivo - mfs_stream_withpri1

That should be enough for anyone to get going on it. 

On and for those not following the rather monsterously long thread on 
DD I have converted the mfs_stream program from the standard 
mfs_export to have the same interface as ExtractStream. This is so 
that you can grab files with TivoApp etc... but it produces much more 
accurate TyStream files and has solved a ton of splitting/extract 
problems. Again for a full list of the whys look for my posts on DD.
