I had similar problem, but after upgrade to 1.5.12 it's fine now.

 Release 1.5.11 fixed one subtitling issue and caused the issue you are
 seeing. In 1.5.12, the offending change has been reverted and the
 subtitling issue has been fixed by a different approach.

I'm going to downgrade to 1.5.10 since it used to work for me (1.5.12
isn't in the Gentoo vdr-1.5 overlay I'm using currently, so upgrading
is not an option).

Though, I did some investigations into this on my own. AFAICT, the
subtitle changes that were also discussed here were added to the
ebuild 1.5.11-r1 on the overlay on 11.11.
(vdr-1.5.11-ringbuffer-remux.diff). Are other patches besides
vdr-1.5.11-ringbuffer-remux.diff needed? I tried adding
vdr-1.5.11-subtitle_fixes.diff but it didn't fix this, I still get the
emergency exits (or, if I uncomment that feature, then all recordings
end prematurely, and I believe that the picture jerks in live views
but there hasn't been anything interesting enough to capture my
attention for the required 5-10 minutes during testing to verify
that).

OTOH I don't see anyone mentioning anything about emergency exits in
the vdr-1.5.11  subtitling problems. Maybe what I encountered was a
different problem, after all?

 They have saved quite a few recordings for me.
 But since they are so idiotic (which, I guess, makes me the idiot,
 since I've implemented them), I'll make them configurable soon.

Oh, sorry, I didn't mean it personally (really!). I was just a bit mad
at the time of writing.

The automatic restarts might be good for some situations (like bad
drivers) but definately not for others, like this. And, if there is
something wrong, _primarily_ one should seek out why and what is
wrong, not start restarting applications... but as you stated for some
situations that might be a workaround for some situations (albeit
temporary until there's a real fix for the cause). Overall, VDR is a
very nice project! And, one must remember that 1.5.x is the
development branch (IIRC).

Anyways, I think there's something else going on, too. I checked my
syslogs, and I haven't had this problem before 18.11.2007 (my syslogs
range back some weeks-months, and I do recordings of certain
programmes with and without subtitles weekly). On 18.11. I upgraded to
1.5.11 from 1.5.10, and afterwards, ALL recordings with subtitles have
had these restarts. I get no such problems if I'm recording a channel
without subtitles or just watch a program with subtitles (or without).

But, I need to verify this. I've had too few regordings after 18.11.
(maybe 2-4), it could have been just bad transmissions (weirdly
coincidentally, if they were just now and on several channels).
Though, I'm quite busy on these few days / weeks but I'll get back
when I've done some more investigations and testings what is going on.
In the meantime, just wanted to drop a note here, in case someone is
hit by a similar problem =).

And, Klaus, keep up the work with VDR!

I'm having exactly the same problem! VDR does an emergency exit every
2-10 minutes when recording a program with subtitles (currently, a
documentary about atomic weapons on YLE 2).

I'm on VDR-1.5.11 currently, have one DVB-C (budget) card and a dxr3
card. I haven't noticed this before, and I'm not sure actually if this
is the same problem, since I haven't used TV a lot recently because of
being busy... but I quicly checked recent recordings, and all of them
are ruined because of this constant restarting (well, perhaps not
ruined but nevertheless have ugly gaps / missing a few seconds every
few minutes). I don't know if I've done any recordings without
subtitles recently, but I'll check if they're OK when I have the time.

In my syslog, I got exactly similar entries as Michael, like so:

I see exactly the same problem, but only when using my old Hauppauge Nova-T

Also the problem only seems to occur when recording, not when watching live
