Well, speaking from a completely uninformed position, I think it's
actually more likely a timing and DV stream construction issue
completely within DVTool, but I'm not sure.

Thanks, this is good.  I actually just got out my dongle (er, DVDongle
that is) and did some testing.  I was surprised that it seems even more
broken than you describe :)

Anyway, I sent off an email to Robin so we'll see what he says.

Thanks!
