Is that in the CVS? Which options must be used? I want to rip DVDs to PES for my VDR-Server?

If you mean fields and padding by Telecine machines look at DivX.com. They have a nice description.

The DVB driver by the Metzler Bros. has a ps2pes-proggie, but no pes2ps. But maybe they can give you some hint ...
The mplextools included in the DVB driver should be able to convert DVB-PES-streams to VOB. But the DVD-Soft-Players didn't rock
when I tested it.

Another question - maybe I didn't see when scanning RTFM from time to time - but is mplayer/mencoder capable to play/rip progressive
frames from DVD?
