Hi Nico,
Yes I wondered about corrupt streams, so I watched projectx in action 
carefully.
I need to understand it a bit more, but it found many corrupt timestamps
while demuxing, and repaired on the run. Time will tell, however I have 
some progress,
and I can't fault the process yet!

I intend to try all of everybody's suggestions. One question - with 
mencoder why format=dvd?

Regards,
Timf
