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:
<http://elgato.com/index.php?file=products_eyetv400_faq#faq16>
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.
Do not know the software, but yes it should be able to do this also it
hints it does by FAQ supplied by Shay
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.
To split or decode an mpeg try DropDV works a treat, you will end up
with .dv and audio files in your case just a dv which can be placed
into DVD SP which will do it's own encoding pending your requests.
