Hmmm, somehow I was getting confused. mplayer definitely says mpeg2.

My file appears to be in PES format (according to mplayer). Are there
any open source ways of converting this to PS?

metzler bros sounds like commercial software to me (correct me if I am
wrong), and when I did a web search all I could find was a car
insurance company...

>From your description, it would appear that mythtv receives DVB in TS
format, but re-encodes it in PES format? If so, why does it do this?

What is the difference between PES/TS/PS formats?
