I'm glad I'm not the only person that thinks that.

Klaus's argument has always been that he just wants the recordings to 
play back on his DVB card, and his "castrated PS" format does that job. 
    To be fair, I am sure it would be a lot of work to change VDR at 
this late stage, especially the cutting functionality.

But now that nearly all Linux video tools have native TS support, there 
is no reason to do any conversion at all during recording - if some 
playback devices need a different format, then do the conversion during 
playback.

But I guess this is the wrong list for that discussion :-)

Dave.
