I've just transcode a couple of programs I recorded recently, one was complete garbage, the other transcoded fine. Im pretty sure both these recordsing were made using svn 8630 snapshot. The good program was from Channel 4 and the corrupt one was on ITV2 both early in the morning on 22 Jan. Im in the UK I have not changed any transcode/MPEG settings. My set up is 3 Avermedia 771 DVB-T cards on a amd 64 3200 box. with a number of remote client pc's Guess its time to upgrade to the latest svn and see if its still happening, especially on new recordings.
