Jim,
US checkout
I extracted the ty stream using tivoapp with mfs stream renamed 
as ExtractStream. I did a Enterprise episode with two Extracted 
files 87745 & 87816. Saw no errors using tivoapp extraction.

Command TyconvertStream.exe d:/ty/87816 d:/tyconverted/
Enterprise1 0 4096 8192

I used windows xp command prompt with the following returns 
This is just the end of the printout:

For the first chunck there were two files Enterprise1 MPEG video/
audio stream 0 KB and Enterprise1 M2V 402,649 KB 
the Audio file was empty

TMPGEnc Took the M2V as a video and did some Judging field 
order. I was able to create a good video mpg file that would play 
on Windows Media player or my hollywood card.

The second file chunk had more problems along with the 
Exception : Code should be 10
the end came up with a bunch of unknown record types.
TMPGEnc would not load this file.

If you want I can send you the ty files

In the mean time I'll check out some more files
