I struck this problem at one point (temporarily cured by hitting the + 
key to switch audio tracks), and was told that it was PS vs TS causing 
the problem.  However, switching to TS did not make any difference.  
Luckily for me, it went away when I rebuilt my box - probably because 
the rpms I used the second time are a later build.

Just wanted to say that, although many people may think the answer has 
been found and that it is purely the choice of PS as a recording format, 
it ain't necessarily so....
