i had the same problem on pro7 (video skips all 2 seconds for 2 seconds)
but only the first .vdr file

Timer: 21:40-23:59 (recorded on a DVB-s)

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root     215069857 Mar 18 23:01 001.vdr
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root     1903155987 Mar 18 23:59 002.vdr
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       772112 Mar 18 23:59 index.vdr

recording should be ~2:20 long but ~1:07 is displayed (i did not run out of
disk space)

I've also done a second recording in this time:

Timer 21:09-21:52 (recorded on a DVB-nova)
This recording is OK
