[Mplayer-dvb] mencoder is not able to convert dvb recording from vdr

[dromtom at gmx.de]

Hi,

There is a simple solution :
download PVAStrumento (search in google.com). It is a windows app, but it
works perfectly under WINE.
PVAStrumento converts your VDR file (TS transport stream) into a clean MPEG2
PS (program stream). Moreover it also fixes a/v sync and repairs your stream
in case of errors. 
I suggest to convert all your VDR recordings to PS because the TS stream
(=VDR file) contains a lot of additional error correction stuff which makes your
file larger. So you can save some hundred MB and have a clean mpeg file.

Then mencoder should have nothing to complain about.
