Okay, I viewed the test file that I did this afternoon, and it's great, 
but I am getting the blockiness after a cut that Cory was seeing. This 
is from a PVR-250, PS format I believe.

On the file that I figured would be a problem, it bails after about 10MB 
of data (out of 600MB total). I knew it would have problems with this 
file. I have 2 PVR-250's, and I think one of them is bad, because it 
generates blocky MPEG files, and the Mythfrontend spits out a lot of 
error messages while playing. Do you want any specific output or 
debugging with this, or should I just forget it, since I know the file 
is bad?
