so next, I'll get the cvs version of mplayer, too.

as I said in my previous mail (... then I stopped vdr and tried ...)
that's not the reason.

BTW, I got another mpeg file to show later at night, but it was just b/w
     (although it should have been in color) and first it was flackering
     until I adjusted the V-rate on my tv.

     Could it be that it's just the tv, which couldn't show the file?
     like the problems with NTSC dvds and non-NTSC tvs?
     (I have a rather old tv in my "testing environment")

BTW2: Is it also possible to get audio through the dvb card or do I need a
      sound card?
