No, vdr can replay quite some mpeg flavours on the fullfeatured DVB-s cards.
If you just rename DVD vob files to vdr this works great. Same with 
standard mpeg 1 files or output of transcode.

To the original question of processor speed:
If I reencode vdr files to divx one pass, thats faster then realtime on 
my 2.26 GHz P4
So my guess would be that at about 2 GHz a good quality mpeg 2 encoding 
should be possible.
Mencoder dvb functionality  gives another hint: mplayer can decode divx 
and encode the result to mpeg1 (I frame only as far as I know) on CPU 
below 1GHz.

I heard of projects for analog recording, search source forge. Would be 
great if you`d link this together with vdr.
