Hi Pascal, I've written a very small program that does just that : https://svn.tuxicoman.be/listing.php?repname=dvbsplit It's a quick hack, there is probably a better way to do this but at least it works :) To get the sources : "svn checkout https://svn.tuxicoman.be/svn/dvbsplit/trunk dvbsplit". Check the readme for compilation. You'll need to tune to the right TP with `{stc}zap -r`, then start it and it will dump everything in the directory.
