Looks like an error in the recorded data. Note that the patch does not 
modify the data written to the disk. It affects the data transferred 
*to* the av7110 only.

You should really try to simplify your setup (vanilla vdr without 
patches and minimum set of plugins).

Hm, the patch increases the cpu load somewhat. If your system is already 
running close to the limit it might be too much...

Try to replay the recording with and without the patch. Does it make a 
difference? If not the glitch is in the recorded data.

Looks like you have real problems here. These should be discussed in a 
separate thread.
