I actually do not know if you are receiving ASTRA HD from 19E2, or from elsewhere, and I now realize that earlier, I assumed that you did... As I noted in my last mail, please try `mplayer -vo null etc.' to detect corrupted video. The `-nosound' option means that every frame will be checked, no matter how slow my^H^H your machine. In case the bandwidth is of concern, because I do not know what to expect from HD DVB-S2 transponders... I'm assuming, from your headers, you're somewhere in germany -- if you are within the Astra 2D footprint at 28E2, meaning, the west or northwest, you can receive the BBC-HD signal with a reasonable dish -- this will fill about 7 to 8GB per hour on disk, and is sent via DVB-S at present. Around Berlin, you'll need perhaps a 2 metre dish. If you can tune it, this will give a DVB-S reference at a decent bitrate, probably similar to ASTRA HD. Alternatively, on DVB-S, Eins Festival HD starts in less than 24 hours; the bitrate is not so high -- I have some files from the past Easter holiday that require, for example, 21GB from somtime after 13h to just after 17h, so a bit better than good quality SD video, but slightly less than the BBC-HD stream. Both these are H.264. With a few hours of suitable HD recording, you can then definitively say, oh yeah, the -S2 transport streams are indeed corrupt and the -S streams perfect, or not, or something. That would be very useful, if it isn't already widely known. thnks, barry bouwsma _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
