So VDR works as it should. You have a Windows problem. Wrong mailing
list, but anyway:

DVB transmits in MPEG2 data. AFAIK there are two different file formats
for MPEG2.  VDR uses the PES format, while most mpeg2 files are in the
PS format (If I'm wrong, please someone correct me).

Windows - per default - cannot play mpeg2 files - in either format. For
this you need to install a mpeg2 decoder. Some can play the PES
recordings directly, some need a normal MPEG2 file.
You can use PVAstrumento to convert the VDR recordings into a normal
MPEG2 file.

Cheers,
Juri
