I am currently working on that.
The next version (0.7) of VDR will store recordings in PES format
and will also provide the ability to mark the beginning and end of commercial
breaks and generate an edited version of the original recording.

However, I'm having some serious problems with the PES mode of driver 0.8.
When I make a recording with

   cat /dev/video > filename

and replay that recording with
 
   cat filename > /dev/video

I get big audio dropouts with recordings taken from e.g. ARD, while there
are (almost) no audio dropouts on recordings from e.g. RTL. I assume that
it might have to do with the different picture sizes of these channels
(704x576 vs. 480x576). Maybe some of you here on the list could reproduce the above
mentioned tests (with the 0.8 DVB driver installed as it comes, i.e. _without_
'outstream=0'!) and let me know whether you experience the same problems.
Please also give the CPU speed of your system (mine is running at 450MHz).

Greetings
Klaus
