[vdr] Re: Converting VDR to MPEG-4 with 2divx

[ma.hoff@t-online.de (Martin Hoffmann)]

Please don't try 2divx2.0 pre0 - this ones really buggy and beside early alpha 
stage !
You should use the 1.6.0pre5 instead !
Do you really have ONE big VDR file larger 2GB ? Or is the compete movie 
larger than 2GB but split in several vdr files ?

Try increasing the Cache option in 2divx.conf - this often helps mencoder to 
detect the stream - see FAQs section on http://ma.hoff.bei.t-online.de/

Please post the console output from vdr2divx 1.6.0pre5 when the error occurs !
