vlc 0.6.x or 0.7.x can't handle HDTV mpg files - WHY???

[bendermac]

i have afew trailers recorded from hdtv. those clips where .ts files and played fine but after making those in .mpg with the windows app "hdtv2mpeg2" the files only play with black screen. so i wonder why this is and i hope there is fix for this.

i run mac os x 10.3.3 with vlc player 0.7.2
