Can you verify exactly whether the end time was 3:14 am or 2:14 am?
This makes all the difference. A timer from 2:30 am to 2:14 am will record
23 hours and 44 minutes, while one from 2:30 am to 3:14 am will record just
44 minutes. Well, with the DST switch things are a little more complicated:
the 2:30 am to 3:14 am timer will start at 2:30 and record for half an hour.
Then the time is set back to 2:00, so it will stop recording, until it gets
2:30 again. Then it will record its 44 minutes until 3:14. The 2:30 am to 2:14 am
timer on the other hand will also start recording at 2:30, and after half an hour,
restart at 2:30 and record all the way until 2:14 next day.

I'm not sure how this could be done better, since VDR can't know that a 
2:30 am to 2:14 am timer is _not_ meant to record 23:44 hours.
