 After upgrading to 0.27, a limited number (~10%?) aren't playing back.
 When I select them in the Watch Recordings screen, the "Please Wait..."
 dialog box pops up for a longer than normal time (5+ seconds) and then, a
 single frame is displayed of the video and immediately the "End of
 Recording" dialog box is shown with delete + rerecord, delete, and save.
 The video will never play back.

 If I copy the recording file as-is in to the video library, it exhibits
 the same behavior, instantly kicking back to the menu after trying to
 start playback.

 If I do a "dd if=recording.mpg of=brokenplayback.mpg bs=1MB count=20" and
 copy the first 20MB of the file in to the video library, it'll play back
 no problem.

 Mplayer (MPlayer svn r34540 (Ubuntu)) plays back the original recording
 just fine with or without vdpau.

 I'm attaching a log with -v playback and debug.  I'm not seeing this on
 all HD-PVR recordings, but just a few of them.
