If you try processing your flaky mpg sources through VideoRedo (even without edits – it still remuxes on save) do you get mpgs that are fully playable?

I don’t have VideoRedo. I use Womble Mpeg Video Wizard for mpeg2 editing (it has been around much longer than VideoRedo but is similar in capabilities – frame accurate editing, only transcodes at cut points, etc). I wouldn’t categorize the mpg sources that don’t work properly with Tivo decoder as “flaky”. They play back perfectly OK with Videolan VLC, Media Player Classic and some other players on the PC. The ReplayTV mpg files (recordings at medium quality) play back in all DVD players I have tried (and the software I use to make DVD VOBs doesn’t transcode the RTV video as it is DVD compliant, just the audio to AC3). So if anything I would categorize the S3 mpeg2 decoder as “flaky”. Don’t get me wrong – I’m not saying that TTCB capability is critically flawed. I’m just trying to explore exactly what works and what doesn’t work. I’m very happy that at least mpeg2 files originating from S3s (SD & HD) can be edited of commercials and then thrown back at the S3s and play back perfectly. A
