recording a HD TV programme still results in a VDR emergency exit even in the latest VDR dev version:

The same problem appears with all HD (H.264) channels, be it BBC HD or HBO HD or anything else.
Could anyone please look into it? :-(
I've just read a post from another user who had this problem. Apparently his channels.conf contained wrong info and enabling 'update names & pids' (or whatever it's called) fixed it.
