I should seen this myself... :)

I think I found the problem of my system: My 80Gig partition (/video) was formatted
with reiserFS. I don't know
if my installation was faulty or if it is a general problem with raiserFS, but from
time to time, writing to file was *very* slow
(maybe 100K/sec, I did *measure* this by cont. ls -l, so this not very acurate, but
its much to slow nevertheless)
so the buffer overruns occured. I enlarged the VIDEOBUF to 16Meg which did not help
much (except that vdr used a lot of memory ;c) ).
I formatted the partition with ext2 now, and recording works fine.
There is still the message: "kernel: dmxdev: buffer overflow"
in syslog, but no more: "ERROR (dvbapi.c,746): Unbekannter Fehler 769", also buffer
usage never got to 75%.
