I've been playing with converting hdtv transport streams from my MyHD card to SVCD for the past month, and have it more or less working after quite a few headaches. I have however noticed one issue I can't resolve. Every so often a transport stream will not open in either hdtvtompeg2 or dvd2avit3 (trbarry's version). The file opens fine in the MyHD player, but those two apps just lock up when I try and load it. I've had it happen with streams off ABC and FOX. Happened to about 1 out of ever 5 or 6 streams I capture. The streams are all around 7-8gb per hour, segmented into 2gb chunks. I've done some 3 hour streams successfully, can't seem to find anything that separates the streams that errors from the other ones.

Anyone know if perhaps a single bad frame at the beginning could cause the two programs to fail on opening the file? If anyone else has experienced the problem I'd appreciate any input.
