Because 2.4.10 was released yesterday i tried:

It is much better :-)
Not Oops (in the last 3 minutes :-))

"MPEG1" only occurs when i record on both card
simultanious, but only one per (some) minute(s). 

But there are still "glitches" in audio, 
the image contains sometimes artefacts
Video and audio runs/are outof sync (i assume 
because frames are dropped/broken.)
A/V resync can't be forced with "pause", "rewind" is required.



kernel 2.4.10
dvb-20000923
vdr-0.96
lirc-0.6.4pre3
i2c-2.6.1
libc-2.1.3
gcc 2.95.2


(with kernel 2.4.9 simultanious recordings leads to
Kernel panic oops 002 , but not all ways)

recording with the primary card alone always works very
artefact free

recording with kernel 2.4.9 on a PIII 1000MHz 133FSB 
fails on the second card (broken frames, half frames)

recording with a 700MHz 66MHz FSB  works relatively good,
but artefacts are there too.





So:
There is still something wrong.
Maybe with faster CPUs 
maybe with Intel CPUs
maybe with the i815 Chipset
maybe with the MSI MS-6351 MoBo?

Of cause i could place the 700 celeron into the MoBo, but...
i am sure that there still will be artfacts and async sound.


Is it required to x-mail this to the dvb-list?

I don't think that is really a (pure) VDR problem.

Hm, why he might did not do? :-)
