I will look if this message also occurs during the next successful 
transcode with another show.

Maybe this error also happens for you, if I give you the first x MB of 
that recording and you try to transcode it from mythbackend?

Funny is, that the transcode error happens only with this DVB recording 
so far (I use DVB only since 10 days, before I used analog and had no 
errors).

The only thing different in this recording from the other DVB 
recordings, that worked so far, is that it has 2 audio tracks. And 
tcprobe isn't too happy with it either, it sees no audio track:

[tcprobe] MPEG transport stream (TS)
(ts_reader.c) Pids: 0x0 0x1700 0xff 0x20 0x100 0x101
[tcprobe] summary for 3649_20060801220000.mpg, (*) = not default, 0 = 
not detected
    no audio track: use "null" import module for audio

After manual mythtranscode, tcprobe still sees only 1 audio track, but 
mplayer sees both:

[tcprobe] MPEG program stream (PS)
[tcprobe] summary for /work2/video/test.mpg, (*) = not default, 0 = not 
detected
