[vdr] Re: VDR -> DivX Converter Script

["Martin Hoffmann" <ma.hoff@t-online.de>]

Known problem !

I had the same, that's why i implemented the copy job :-) (just a
workaround)

Arpi, the author of mencoder, told me that this is a problem with reading
from the pipe, because he needs 2 passes to analyze the input stream.
AFAIK he is working on this ...
(Read the mplayer-dvb archives about that!)

Did the script work in general ?
