Yeah, but it's not choking on the bitrate.  I don't know about you, but once 
I encouter a brick wall I try and go *around* the wall!  :)

hmmm...  I guess I'm at the limit of what I know regarding muxing/demuxing. 
(Which wasn't that much, to be truthful.)

I'm just stuck on your first post that said the bitrate of the file was 15 
Mbps.  That's why my first move would be to demux it into individual pieces, 
just to *make sure* the file *really* the file only contained what I thought 
should be there.  (i.e. a sanity check)
