How would I go about using the built in transcoder.  The problem is if I 
try to play these files mythtv just crashes so I can't scheadule 
transcode while watching.

Also can the pvr-350/500's encode into ts or do they just encode into 
ps.  If I try playing the files in mplayer it says no TS frames found.  
Also convert says the something similar.  What I think happened is the 
mpeg2 video would dumped in ps format but the initial header says the 
format is in ts format.  Where would be the best place to learn the 
format of the video headers?

Thanks
