Fedora 8, vdr-1.4.7-6.fc8 and old full-feature Terratec C-card. I've configured vdr to start two minutes before the time of the program, and ten minutes after the recording, in case timing is a bit off.
For some reason, when recording the Finnish National broadcaster's (YLE) programs, vdr every time wants to switch files just before the actual program starts. Unfortunately it fails and ends up doing it just slightly too late, causing a few frames of the program to end up at the tail of the two-minute preamble. Quite inconvenient from an editing point of view.
What causes this (does YLE send a the-program-starts-now type of signaling?), I haven't found a way to disable this in spite of going through the configuration files?

The audio/subtitle pids are updated when a program changes, and that causes VDR to re-tune and switch recording file.
I'm not sure if VDR is intelligent enough to not re-tune if only the descriptions change. I guess one could also implement it in a way so that re-tune/fileswitch are not needed.

It is ;-)

I guess the pids are actually changed at the moment the program starts - there should be related log messages.
