No problem :) important was to know where to change things.

As also Chad Flynt has reported higher values do help! I did only have 1
hour time to test and only tried 224, 256 and 272.

224 is not enough. 256 does not allways help but it is definetly better
:) only had time to try 272 once and it seemed worse that 256, but I did
not have time to restart VDR and retry. I will try 384 tonight and see
if it is better :)
