I really don't understand all this turmoil about this!

Apparently you have a workaround that suits your needs.
Just blindly allowing an undocumented and explicitly forbidden value
to indentify an I-frame is not the right thing to do.
You can either point me to a DVB spec that clearly defines this value
as indicating an I-frame, or you can try to find out whether VDR makes
a mistake when detecting the byte that contains the frame type
information.
