Hi Klaus, some time ago I reported a problem concerning lost audio. I found a way now, how it works.

I tried another way, with other tools following a guide from Peter Hofmann. It works (nearly) completely under linux. mplex still raised some problems, so I extended Peters script with es_demux, which produces a 'good' audio stream. Minor sync-problems exist after the process. Unfortunately there is no tool under linux which calculates the VPTS-APTS correctly. So one has to use PVAStrumento. bye ron -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
