Primary limit = 1 was the solution. Thanx.

Btw, In my first recording I got a really strange thing:

After about seven Minutes of recording, there was a message about
an error in te stream in my syslog, and after that the rest of that
recording
was broken (totally disturbed video and audio) and I got the following
messages in my syslog:

May 31 17:30:22 rubin vdr[23814]: ERROR: error in data stream!
May 31 17:30:22 rubin vdr[22018]: ERROR: ring buffer overflow (188 bytes
dropped)
May 31 17:30:24 rubin last message repeated 2955 times

May 31 17:30:27 rubin kernel: SOutCommand error
May 31 17:30:27 rubin kernel: outcom error

and so on ...

Any hints ?
