Confirmed.  I tried R3 live and got similar 'waiting too long' 
messages. I'm not using VDPAU.  Then tried a normal R3 recording, which 
started and stopped within a few seconds. Tried R4 recording, got a 
'program not found in PAT' message and 'rescan your PAT', but now the 
disc sounds as if it's recording and  playback works for a few seconds; 
then 'video frame buffering failed too many times'.  That box isn't 
online at present, so I can't post real output.  I'll check later to see 
if my normal practice of stripping out and saving only the mp2 stream 
works.  It's the same ATrpms spin, 0.24-256, on el5.
