I've been trying to use Project X with MPEG TS to "fix" my DVB
recordings for DVD buring from the HD3000, and to strip out the
extraneous streams, but the A/V Sync gets totally out of wack after 20
minutes or so on a noisy recording.  What settings are you using? I've
been able to keep sync with PVAInstumento on windows, but that really
isn't a longterm scriptable option.
