Fair enough. If it doesn't do what it's meant to do then it's no use. Something to look at later then...

Next question,

When I record DVB-T at the moment (from the 1st party DVICO software) I can watch it, but the stream has glitches. It often loses audio/video sync. And seeking about inside the file is a bit hit and miss.

If I run VideoRedo over it to automatically do a "Quick Stream Fix" it corrects these issues and then playback is almost always perfect. This is along the same lines as my comskip question... Could the new tv engine do some record-time error correction?

I read that MPEG2Repair seems to do something similiar, it's freeware, but I don't think it's open source. Even so, there's a lot of information on what it does (which could help to make our own):

Maybe this is something for future tv server plugins?

Finally, recording to DVD compliant MPEG2 is the first step towards Recording directly to DVD. What would it take to record a DVD compliant stream?

I'd imagine a bit of header manipulation and packet resizing would do the trick. Easier said than done, I know... Are there any plans for this? And is this also something a plugin could do?

Even if we didn't have Direct to DVD, just the fact it's recording a DVD compliant stream would make the eventual DVD burning a lot quicker (no need to convert the file again). It might also improve compatibility with the different MPEG decoder filters ...

Eventually, StreamFix + Comskip + Direct to DVD would be Very cool.

In reality, Direct To DVD is probably a little overrated. What I mean is, I can't see myself using it much. But that might just be me. And when put on a feature list it looks very cool.

Cheers,
