Excellent!

That probably means, that after this it will only be 
a small step until we can play back DVDs and VCDs in
VDR.

Does anyone know if the PS_STREAM/MPEG2 format can be
directly (i.e. without de- and re-compression) copied 
to SVCDs? According to
   http://www.cdrinfo.com/articles/svcd
an SVCD requires MPEG-2 streams at 480x576 resolution,
VBR up to 2.6 Mbps.
