I have done this on my Sony combo box. The video was flawless. The 
only tool I had that would play the extracted video was mplayer under 
Linux. Search the archive for my earlier posts for more information.

The ExtractStream I was using was current as of over 6 months ago. I'd 
be surprised if the new versions didn't work since that old one did. It 
reported lots of errors while running, but it turns out they weren't 
really errors (I was told), just warnings.

I have not gotten the audio working, but I didn't put much effort into 
it before I was distracted.
