It does work for me with mplayer. Thanks for the patch. Maybe it
could make its way into the distribution.

I would like very much to record tv programs using mencoder, but 
it also does not support the PALM norm, and the posted patch
does not seem to address it. Could anybody add support for
the PALM norm to mencoder?
