Hello. I have a VDR box in the basement doing most of my recording. It has a PVR-500 and DVB-C TT-1500 card in it and it runs vdr-1.5.6. Upstairs I have a fanless box in the living room running vdr-1.5.12. Recordings sourced from the PVR-500 have stuttering sound when played on the fanless box through the FF output, but not when test-played through vdr-xine. The sound doesn't stutter at all when played on the basement box. Below is mplayer's attempt at identifying each 001.vdr file. Only difference seems to be the format being 720x576 or 704x576. What other tests can I run???? Any ideas?
