IMHO ProjectX is the best tool for the job. Its very good at keeping
AV sync even in the presence of errors in the stream.

When I demux stuff from UK DVB with ProjectX I get these files

  my_recording.m2v
  my_recording.mp2
  my_recording[1].mp2
  my_recording_log.txt
  my_recording.sup.IFO
  my_recording.sup

Which correspond to your pids.

I haven't made ProjectX crash for ages and ages - are you using the
latest version?  With the sun jvm?
