The MP2 samples are indeed non-standard, meaning a straight MP2 - MP3
conversion ends up with a 'choppy' sound.

For this reason I use TotalRecorder and record directly to MP3.

Also, I've heard the Nebula DigiTV isn't exactly brilliant at recording
mp2
can anyone confirm this?

there is something non-standard about the mp2 files created by digitv.
mannsmp3edit spits them out, and razorlame/lame frequently crashes
when converting them to mp3. i don't know what it is that makes them
non-standard, but files created by a nova-t don't have this problem.

I really should polish it off, but I have written some C code
that strips this extra crap out. Works a treat. The biggest
problem is that it needs to scan the first hundred or so frames
and calculate the correct frame parameters rather than have
those for BBC7 hardcoded into the program.

JAB.
