The recordings are from Dish Network.  Most (all?) are high definition,
but I'm using a PVR-150 to capture using s-video.  The recordings play
back fine.  Every once in a while I have a recording that has one
commercial break detected, but misses the rest of them.

Does that help the diagnosis at all?  Do I need to look into the
settings I'm using for capture?

Thanks for the feedback.
