[vdr] Re: Vdr2divx problem due to mencoder/mplayer

[Onno <onnok@web.de>]

Hi Seppo,
OK this is known to work someway, but since i use a quite old version
of the mplayer/mencoder i can only tell frome the tales:

it is reported to work if you increase the mplayer/mencoder -cache
option to 8 or 32 megabytes, atleast all the newer convert tools/scripts
(vdrsync.pl,vdrconvert.sh) do use a big cache, and they also
use mencoder to work with the files, but they are mostly used/developed
by german folks, thus if your particular mtv3 recording fails,
it might be a problem from the skandinavian / dvb-t corner.

hope this helps a little,
regards Onno
