I tested with VDR 1.4.3 and test_av app included in 22623 test firmware package, with firmwares 261a, 261f, 2622 and that test version 22623. Everytime playback stuttered and lost a/v sync after scene change situation.

So I think this is more like dvb firmware/driver problem than VDR problem. However this is very annoying.

I agree, this is not VDR problem but firmware. However, I don't know which mailing list is better to report this problem: vdr or dvb thus I've sent this here.

My gut feeling is that these problems appeared around when AC3 bitstream out came into DVB firmware, and I think that was done by Werner Fink.

I think he has kept knowledge by himself, so maybe he should be able fix the situation?

(this is the first new type of firmware(is it?), and was already tested by you)

But this is a feeling, not a fact. So maybe older default firmware for old type of driver should be tested, I mean not dvb-ttpci* type of file, I mean Root & Dpram -files.
