Can you try removing just the CAM code and see if that is enough?  I haven't had time to try this yet, but assuming you are on a Nova-T in the UK, the sections code is probably receiving complete rubbish, and it may be this which is causing the problems.  It would be a useful debug anyway.

I think you need a pretty up to date cvs, along with the patches just announced by Kenneth.  I haven't looked at it, but I would guess that you need to use the dvbrecorder.cpp file quite carefully (is it for his new style code, or the old code?)

I think all the above are symptoms which will be fixed by Kenneths new patch.  You will need to use mythcommflag though to see a difference on already recorded files though.
