This looks so very similar to the problem which occured to me some 2 
months ago (similar hardware and video output method):

As I didn't have too much time to look for the cause, I'm still at 
vdr-1.4.6 and using xineliboutput (working well), but now that I've 
catched up with reading few things on the ML which seems interesting to 
me, I'll soon try the latest vdr-1.5 as it now supports UTF8.
