The audio stream seems perfect, but the PES headers in the video stream are very, err.., minimal: 00 00 01 e0 03 fb 80 00 00 This indicates a PES_packet_length of 0x03fb (it's normally zero for video packets) and no PTS or DTS values. Is the problem in the part of the DEC2000T driver that recreates the vidoe PES headers? (I'm assuming that the DEC2000T doesn't give access to the original transport stream). Dave.
