Anybody know what I should be doing to get these recordings to work?
The built in DVD encoder in Toast is hopeless (and takes a long
time), whereas I *assume* I already have a pre-encoded version of the
recordings for DVDSP.

The digital video streams recorded off air are MPEG transport streams,
which are different to the MPEG formats used on DVD's etc. You need to
export the data to turn it into an MPEG Program stream. Even then
there are no guarantees. Consult the FAQ:

After reading that, I have to re-encode at some point. Seems kind of
pointless with the EyeTV software having an export function to DVDSP or
iDVD when the video is correct anyway.
FFMPEG the way to go to convert? Also, I have a sneaking suspicion
that the MPEGs are not standard size ie 720x576 (or whatever it is!),
which may also explain why DVDSP doesn't want to know about the video.
