I will give it a try, if it at least solves the lockup problems then that is a 
start.

Just to recap though - it seems this problem appears with all(?) mpeg 2 
recordings, irrespective of which channels or country? I belive FF/RW greater 
than 3x uses key frames - so is there something different about the key 
frames in mpeg 2 vs mpeg 4?

What else could we do to pinpoint the exact bug?
