Comment (by pbennett):

 I apologize to optimus for the delay, I did not see the message when you
 posted it.

 Make sure the failing recording can play on VLC.

 Extract 50 MB from the beginning of the recording as follows
 {{{
 dd bs=1MB count=50 if=xxxxxxxxxxx.ts of=extracted_with_dd.mpg
 }}}
 Make sure the extracted file plays on VLC and does not play with MythTV.

 If you can put the extracted file on Dropbox and share it, then attach a
 link here, I can download it.
