1.3 vcd creation

[David Gerdes]

Well, swapping out Tivo units appears to have solved one problem.
this morning I burned my first hour long error free VCD.

Now I have a new problem which appears to be specific to 1.3 strems.

As I said previously, the stream output by sendstream on a 1.3 box
appears different and various tools have problem with it.

I used Warren's vsplit to separate the streams instead of splitstream
which I had used previously, because vsplit is the only thing I found 
that works so far.

The video came out great, and I am now having trouble with the audio.

I am getting a number of audio block format errors which I had never sean
with 2.01/sendstream/splitstream

The net result is a mpeg stream which gets more and more out of since
as the video goes along.

The audio transcoding process give the following errors:

The command I ran was:

cat ${b}.m2a | mpg123 -s -r 44100 - | toolame -p 2 -b 224 - ${b}.m1a
where ${b}.m2a was the audio stream as split by vsplit.
