I decided to use /var/spool/video (could have been /var/spool/vdr too).
That's a good point!
Lots of VDR-users use VDR as a standalone system and for those systems /var/spool might be more appropriate than /srv
/srv is right, if the VDR-machine offers the recordings like a NAS or MediaServer, so in case the VDR is a backend machine, it might be better to symlink /var/spool/video to /srv/video or the like.
The FHS gives further examples for /var/spool
"Printer spool directory" "Outgoing mail queue"
I cannot see how a recording directory is comparable with a printer or outgoing mail queue.
