This is a request for support of an additional file
format - of the Topfield PVR .rec file. (A sample can
be found at http://www.futurasoft.de/video/Sophie%20-%
20Braut%20wider%20Willen-26.rec.)

The .rec file is nothing else than a normal transport
stream .ts file with a 0x0678 bytes Topfield specific
header. The first four bytes of the header are the
constant identifier 'TFrc', starting from 0x0678
the .ts transport stream follows.

It should be fairly simple to implement .rec support.
First, check whether it starts with TFrc, then skip
the 0x0678 bytes header and treat it as .ts file.

    Actually you have to skip to offset 0x0EB0 to start with the first transport stream packet. This is valid for all Topfield receivers which have slightly different recording headers.

    BTW, I'd appreciate any intermediate version (or new release :-) compiled for Windows 98. Thanks a lot.
