Indeed, that was extremely helpful.  I ended up bypassing all the kludge
fixes and found a download of that version, and now the encoding is
normal-looking.

I don't know yet whether this 2010 version is any better about the audio
issue (occasionally not recording any audio possibly because the HDPVR gets
set to AAC mode) which was why I upgraded the firmware in the first place.
 But in any case, it seems to be working at least as well as it was before
the first firmware upgrade.

Thanks much Jim.
