Hi, Running VDR 1.6 on a FF and Budget cards I have problems with recordings made from the channel ITV3. The video itself starts OK, but gets very jerky after a while. Restarting playback makes it better for a while. Sound gets more out of sync with the picture, its also better after restarting playback. I tried replaying on VDR 1.7 and the problem was the same.
I tried demuxing the recording with ProjectX, this was the output:

The last line is repeated 500 times, then I get:
stopped...
!> an error has occured.. (please inform the authors at 'forum.dvbtechnics.info') java.lang.NullPointerException
Is there any way I can analyse this further? I dont see any errrors with femon on ITV3.
