I have seen similar a reaction from TyConvert, to me it seemed stream 
related. At a certain point in the processing on certain streams, it 
would just close.. no GPF, no error, just gone. I calculated the 
chunk that it freaked out on, and started it again at the next chunk 
and put those to mpegs together.. it worked. (BTW, an error log og 
Tyconvert would have made the task much easier, I had to use a more 
iterative trial and error process) This will screw with your sync a 
bit, just like foreign chunks will screw with your sync, at the 
beginning and end of streams.

Are you checking "Dont skip invalid chunks"? I found that to stop 
tyconvert from crashing, but it introduces "phantom video". 

I have NEVER had luck with Tyconvert on large files.. eventually, 
one of these bad chunks will bite you... Nothing longer than an hour 
has ever succesfully made it from my tivo to DVD.. and oh how I have 
tried...
