[ExtractStream] UK PAL TiVo Extraction

[Michael Loftis]

And yes, this is a .avi file.

I've given up on mpeg conversion. The tools just don't seem to be there 
for that..... Although... Now that I think about it you could have 
virtualdub save the stuff as a "raw" AVI file, then convert with flask I 
think...? I dunno... Anyway best luck.
