[vdr] Re: Video Disk Recorder version 1.0.0pre5

[Gerald Raaf <graaf@attglobal.net>]

Hi,

great work, i played around with the new version for several hours, the only problem
i've found is the workaround for the stillpicture problem. With the latest driver, the
frames are displayed, but you never get the exact beginning of a movie, as in other
versions of vdr with the stillpicture patch against orig. dvb driver.

have others the same problem when cutting a movie or did i made something false?
