Hi,
as you may have noticed: ZDF increased it's bitrate to about 7.5 Mbit/s. As a result, less powerful VDR systems "suffered" when taking a recording or when running in transfer mode.
The attached patch speeds up cVideoRepacker by choosing a known art search algorithm for finding start codes in the video stream.
With this patch and a similar one for xine-lib I was finally able to watch and record ZDF at the same time on my 600 MHz "budget only" EPIA VDR system.
Bye.
