Seems to work ok - you will have to kill vlc when its done, also note I am
using a CVS version of vlc from a couple of weeks back - the current CVS
seems to want to convert my MPEG2/AC3 stream's audio to MPEG4, instead of
keeping it A52.

Also - In response to the suggestion from Stephan below - dvb-mpegtools
doesn't convert vlc created ts files or HDTV ts files from over the air
broadcast correctly - the audio gets lost (I have tried libdvb-0.5.0)
