[vdr] Re : VDR files to vob

[Patrick GUENEAU <pgueneau@wanadoo.fr>]

Hi Antonio,

It seems you have to cut the first few seconds from recordings before
trying to convert using either PVAStrumento or mplex.
(beginning of VDR recordings are always bad synced)

I have recently tried to test Old SpruceUp Authoring tool using output
from mplex or PVAStrumento. Both worked if video size is a standard DVD
one (for instance, 528x576 is not).

Concerning mplex, there was a thread concerning A/V Sync problem on
linux-dvb Maillist. A Bug has been fixed in mplex code to handle A/V
Sync error message from mplex program and using the last cvs DVB driver
you should be able to use mplex without any problem.

Regards,
Patrick Gueneau
