Then possibly a problem with libavformat?  Isn't that the container-side 
sibling of libavcodec?  In any event, they're both part of the ffmpeg 
project, which Myth sucks into its source tree.  Isaac re-syncs with 
the ffmpeg project every now and then, so the best approach is probably 
to fix the problem there, then we'll get it eventually.

Have you tried playing the files with MPlayer?  MPlayer also uses the 
ffmpeg libraries, so it's probably a good litmus test to see if the 
problem is in ffmpeg code or not.
