Hi,
When I record channel with subtitle, VDR brutally restart.
Here is the content of the syslog, just before restarting :
I'm having exactly the same problem! VDR does an emergency exit every 2-10 minutes when recording a program with subtitles (currently, a documentary about atomic weapons on YLE 2).
I'm on VDR-1.5.11 currently, have one DVB-C (budget) card and a dxr3 card. I haven't noticed this before, and I'm not sure actually if this is the same problem, since I haven't used TV a lot recently because of being busy... but I quicly checked recent recordings, and all of them are ruined because of this constant restarting (well, perhaps not ruined but nevertheless have ugly gaps / missing a few seconds every few minutes). I don't know if I've done any recordings without subtitles recently, but I'll check if they're OK when I have the time.
In my syslog, I got exactly similar entries as Michael, like so:

I believe only the last three lines are significant.
Is there a workaround for this? I remember seeing someone with a patch that prevented this (IMHO idiotic) emergency exits, but OTOH the patches could have been for a different issue.
