[vdr] file-size and ac3

["Johannes Schoeller" <schoeller@gmx.at>]

hi list!

has anyone else encountered any problems while recording broadcasts
with dolby digital sound?
according to several sources it.s a good idea to reload drivers (and
vdr of course) before starting an ac3 recording. this of course is
no guarantee for a perfect recording, nor is it very practible to
get up at 3:00am to restart the drivers. ;)
also i have a "max recordings size (or similar)" of 2000. is this to
high? sometime vdr produces one-file recordings of 3-4gig.
that is very strange. when i afterwards edit the file the resulting
file-sizes are correct.

i use vdr-099pre1 with lcd and mp3 patch an kernel 2.4.9 on rh6.2

servus hannes!
