yes, that's a great problem with such recordings where one language is on the left 
and one on the right. For vdr this is "one" channel - the green button meens 
switching between several audio streams This is done by different audio PID's. 
TV-sets often have a switch for "stereo-mono-left only-right only" but unfortunatly 
receivers mostly doesn't have. In the case of 3sat with this "left-right" languages 
you can playing with balance or if your receiver has a at least a mono-switch, you 
can easy plug out the right cinch cable and press Mono. The best way would be if 
Klaus could insert such a function in VDR, the second way could be a script 
(running i.E. by recordcmd) wich is demuxing the record, using a audio tool to 
copy the left channel to the right right (I'm pretty sure such a tool exist) and 
muxing the record again...)
