I don't know. Is there a program I can use to look at what PIDs are in a TS file.

I have a 1 minute file which doesn't seem to have any errors. It's already 
720x480 and the codec is mpgv, which is the correct codec for a DVD, right?

ts2ps gives me this, which is good, I think.

[vondo at vondo-d video]$ ts2ps analog.ts 0 0 > analog.ps
Videostream: ASPECT: 4:3  Size = 720x480  FRate: 29.97 fps  BRate: 7.50 Mbit/s

--------------------------------------------------

dvdauthor gives me this, which doesn't look good.

[vondo at vondo-d video]$ dvdauthor analog.ps -o test-dvd/ |& more
DVDAuthor::dvdauthor, version 0.6.8.  Build options: gnugetopt magick
Send bugs to <dvdauthor-users at lists.sourceforge.net>

If I try to replex analog.ps, I get this:

If I try to replex the original TS and dvdauthor it, I get this:

I'm sure I'm just not understanding something basic here. I'd be happy to make 
the 1-minute file(s) available to someone if they wanted to play around with them.

Thanks much,

Eric
