No I am thinking of direct stream copy. There are some DVB-Recordings
with german/english language and german dolby digital soundtrack
waiting to be transcoded. I didn't found a tool which is capable 
of handling such PES-streams. MEncoder could be the solution
because of the feature list of MPlayer.

BTW a program "MInfo" would be a great help to integrate MPlayer in an 
DVB-Environment. This program should show all the information which
MPlayer displays at startup without trying to play anything.
