  1. Sometimes, when I capture via my Skystar2 DVB-S card using Prog DVB, the bit rate of the downloaded MPEG file is reported at 15mb/sec. Obviously this is wrong as no TV station has that amount of bandwidth for a standard 720x 576 PAL channel. I can easily work out what it should be roughly, then change the entire file using DVD Patcher, but this can still cause editing problems down the line.

    Anyone any idea why the wrong bit rate is reported? I thought maye bug in the Prog DVB software, but i've had the same with the software that shipped with the card, si I'm at a loss to understand why

    It's not a Bug of progdvb, neither a bug in general. It is a TS flag.
    The transmission reports that the bitrate is 15.000 while actually can be even .... 900kb/s (as happens with Dance TV Italy on Hotbirds)

    This info is just a header flag on the mpeg 2 stream. Prog DVB just get it as is and add it. It doesn't harm to leave it as is. You can even feed TMPGenc Author, and even if the program complains about the bitrate, it accept it and there is no problem when you burn your project on DVD.

    IMO, just cut / edit as is and apply changes on the mpeg 2 header later. There is no way to bypass by default this header info from what I know.
    It is a lie build in on the TS info and nothing can change it...
