Yes, but IMO VDR receives some more PIDs than just the ones that get recorded. EPG, teletext, maybe another recording from same transponder, etc. You have to pick out the packets for recording anyway, and then its just a minor step to PES. Plus, you have to generate new program announcements to match the part you're actually recording. Cheers, Udo
