I actually got ffmpeg to do an encoding session but nothing ever came out to display.
I gave up and use Freevo as a frontend, with TVTIME for my low-end analog card, and vdr-xine to connect to anther box running my VDR to sat.

So you managed to get ffmpeg to record a stream from VDR/analogTV ????
Could you send me your channels.conf (looks like you're in the same part of the world as me :))? What type of card are you using?
