Just for informational purposes, I tried to gopchop a DVB recording last 
night, and gopchop (gopchop.sf.net) could not find a single GOP (Group Of 
Pictures). I had to download replex from metzlerbros.de, and run it through 
that, after I'd done this, gopchop worked as expected. So it's clear to me 
that the MPEG2 stream that the DVBRecorder generates is somewhat flakey.
I'm unsure if I'm going to do something about it or not, since It's working 
well for me, as I do not use any transcoding or cutting features.
