Hi,
I've just started playing with VDR again for the first time since version 1.2 something. It has improved immensely, well done to everyone, especially Klaus.
My question is, has anyone made a script for transcoding video files to the vdr format? The reason I ask is that if I can play files from the vdr format I can fast forward etc... using the remote. I haven't managed to get that working as well with the mplayer plugin.
Thanks,
Glyn

project-x should be able to convert most mpeg files to vdr
http://sourceforge.net/projects/project-x/
the command line interface was not that well documented when I wrote my scripts some years back. Once you get past that it works very well.
note that I demux using project X and cut the files using mpeg2schnitt under wine. Not quite what you are planning.

Thanks, that works fine
what I'm doing is:
1) get some clip from the internet 2) transcode to mpeg2 3) use project x to get it into vdr format 4) copy resultant directory to the recordings directory on the vdr machine
I had to do the transcode on another machine anyway in order to output through my dxr3 card.
Thanks again

If you have a FF card, then getting the remote to work with the mplayer plugin should be trivial. If you are using some other type of remote (LIRC), the just add the "-L" switch to your mplayer.sh.conf and point the script to your .lirc config file. I would concentrate on getting the remote to work instead of transcoding everything over. You will save lots of space.
Best Regards.
