Ok, this works as well.  But the sync is not right.  I have a feeling the desync
has to do with the cut marks I have created and processed with vdr on the recording.

It appears we lose ~200ms of audio for every cut mark that is created and
processed by vdr.  I have experimented with other demuxers and lvedemux appears
to work as well.  What I have done is count the blocks of video and multiply
that by 200ms.  Then use that calculation in the "time shift" switch here (-sh):

mkfifo file.m2v file.mpa
cat 00*.vdr|pes2ts2 100 101|ts2ps 100 101 > file.ps
lvedemux file.ps | lvemux -p -1 -r -sh -400 -v file.m2v -a file.mpa -o file.mpg

Note: -400ms would be for a recording with two blocks of video (-600ms for 3
blocks, etc..). This is to compensate for the loss of audio on the cuts.

Im using cvs for both ffmpeg and mplayer.  I also have just about everything
enabled that I can.  I am assuming that the mpeg2video codec comes from ffmpeg?

Thanks for the help..
