I don't know if it will help, the free trial of either program might be worth a try.
I've had a few strange problems with corrupt MPEG files. (When I read your first post, I was wondering if you were working with MPEGs.) In my case, the corrupt files always played back OK before making a DVD, so it took me awhile to figure out what the problems was. And, in my case the above programs were not able to repair the bad files, but I discovered that my MPEGs were getting corrupted during editing, and editing with Womble does prevent the file corruption.
Your file corruption probably has a different cause. You didn't say that you were editing the MPEGs. The problem may be with your Poineer DVD recorder.... I don't know....
The problem is not new, i have it for 80 % of the file i work with Ulead, and skier-hughes said above that he just checked and make the same observation
