I'm afraid I don't.

The original problem was that once the driver's buffer overflowed,
VDR lost sync with the TS packets and that resulted in the observed
symptoms (recording ended prematurely and a thread ran with very high
CPU load). In version 0.92 VDR makes sure that it is always in sync with
the TS packets and skips incoming bytes if necessary until it gets in sync
again. I was able to definitely reproduce the problem and saw that it never
occured again after the fix. Therefore I have no idea why it would still
fail on your system.
