I use tzap from CVS, which has a "-o" option which dumps the TS to the named file. That along with its "-t" option to set the recording time does the trick. I send the TS to "-" (standard output) and pipe that through ts2ps, finally piping the output from that to disk. That gives me a nice clean PS with the required streams. > Whatever you do make sure you keep an eye on the a/v sync.

I've taken to pushing everything I want to keep through ProjectX on a Windows box (though it's Java, so may work on Linux too -- but the Windows game machine has rather more grunt than my Freevo box, so...). That demuxes and fixes timing/sync very nicely, the results are good for burning to DVD if that's what you want to do. Otherwise, no transcoding -- it's easier to just stick a nice big disk in the Freevo machine than to worry about transcoding temporary recordings.
