Error in audio packet header!

[kill1967]

Do yourself a favour and use Tivoapp 2.2 (with the included 
ExtractStream)! For UK owners it's the easiest way to get a raw .ty 
file onto your HD for splitting. BTW only extract to .ty the other 
options generally result in corrupt .mpeg or split streams.

Next step is to get TyConvertStream 1.3 which *WILL* split UK PAL 
TiVo streams and it does this job very, very well. What you've got is 
a .m2v and a .m2a file. From there follow Roger's guide and you 
should be fine. BTW redirect the output from TyConvertStream to a log 
file, as you'll need to work out the audio offsets when multiplexing 
back to mpeg2.

I've tried replacements for ExtractStream, but they really don't like 
my TiVo streams (namely mfs_stream and sendstream).

Tivoapp is not perfect but zss splitstream and the others just don't 
work with UK PAL/DVB streams.

Cheers,

John
