There was no sound failure, I watched it too, sound was OK untill the
end.
I have gone back top VHS recording, really cannot use the driver
in its current form professionally...
audio gets out of sync, interruptions in pic / sound, sometimes
it just hangs... I gave up.
Is that Nokia thing with a harddisk on the market? does it really work?
Is there ANY configuration / card on the market that actually makes a
perfect recording?
I do not understand al this multiplex stuff, all I need is the original
sound and vision all undisturbed and in sync.

I think first priority should be reliability, forget al the 'special
features'
If it does not do the basic recording it is of no use.
And I think it is not a vdr problem, but a driver problem.
Also I think the new API does not show any sort of improvement atm.
Running the test routines well, I just gave up.
Regards
Jan
