Doesn't work. Genindex 1.2 just outputs a lot of these kinds of lines:

PES: invalid packet type 0x12, skipping
PES: skipped 105 bytes

PES: skipped 72 bytes

PES: skipped 166 bytes
PES: invalid packet type 0x1c, skipping

The 001.vdr was made with the mencoder line above. I guess
it's the wrong type of MPEG-2.
