Sorry, I'm using vdr to play vdr files. If some other software is not able to play PES, that software cannot be used or needs to be fixed.
Not everyone can use VDR that way because of limitations of output plugins, but it can still be useful for making recordings to watch with something else (by using the vdr-xine plugin for output but not actually running xine). MPlayer seems to be the only other player capable of playing the format, but it has problems like not being able to work out the length of recordings and show playback progress correctly. And even vdrsync often doesn't work properly. ProjectX nearly always works well though.
Well, xine also plays them, you just have to rename them to .mpg or make a symlink.
