Having two different recording formats is a very bad idea, IMHO. Besides, over at vdrportal.de somebody posted that about 50% of his recordings can be processed with other tools, so the files produced by VDR can't be all that bad. And since all of the files that were ok for him were from the German "?ffentlich rechtliche" stations, and those that didn't work were from private stations, it must have something to do with the actual data that comes from the stations. So the proper course of action should be to find out what exactly that difference is. Klaus
