Right, I've had a go with the AC3 patch against DVB Patch V3.5.
I modified it slightly (not stomping on anyone's toes here):
- I removed the transform.c stuff (that is apparently fixed)
- I changed wantac3 to prefer_ac3 to match what was in sitypes.h - horses
for courses...
- I didn't remove the "enc->channels = 2" in avformatdecoder.cpp. This
stopped the software AC3 from working. Is it necessary?
I have two thoughts about the ugly hack in mpeg.c. Either the broadcasters
here are not sending a 0x80 startcode, or the AC3 packet isn't aligned with
the pes packet.
Do any of you guys get horrible blockyness watching Nine HD (and to a lesser
extent Ten HD)? I can make it go away completely by recording the transport
stream, but I don't think mpegts.c is quite finished as I never get any
audio on any channel.
Maybe the pes filtering in my card is crap.
Tim.

Only if you checkout close to the release of the patch.
I built 3.5 against CVS from this morning and it now works fine. Must have
checked out at a bad time (-D20050108).

Can you show me the log from the backend when it starts recording?
