This sounds like what I need.  Thanks.  Do you think you can point me at
some code that already does something like this?  This will be my first
attempt at anything in mplayer, so I don't know the first thing about
finding my way in that codebase.  Any pointers on where to start would be
much appreciated.

I don't know anything about the .ty format, except that it was for hacked
Series1 TiVos.  Does this source file implement the kind of thing you
described above?

Thanks
