I'm recording radio from DVB-T.  As captured, the recordings playback
sound with a dark screen. They can be edited and transcoded but there's
little visual feedback.  I've used avidemux > audio > save to strip off

This is with an earlier atrpms 'bleeding' build - I had trouble with the
editor in the current version.

I suppose this ought to work with a recording from analog STB output
too, but I haven't tried it.

(I replied to the list earlier but it appears that that went via the 
wrong account and has got lost or is pending)
