[linux-dvb] Re: korrupt MPEG2 Stream

[MK <amk@befree.ch>]

Just relax, we're happy with what's been done but I think we should have a 
serious look at what's being transmitted (and received). Maybe trouble 
doesn't come form linux, windoze or whatever system or player...

For now the only viable solution I see for me to get compatible recordings it 
to get the hardware encoder card and re-encode anything through it (provided 
it generates real standard mpeg2). Need that to get my own analogic videos 
inside the box anyway.

Greetings for 2001 and happy holidays.
