It's better to use mkvmerge (or ffmpeg etc for mpeg2) to remultiplex properly. You still don't have to transcode the streams so it doesn't take much longer. Players can't tell how long (in terms of time) TS files are, or how any point in the file corresponds to time for seeking etc. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
