Can somebody clarify please. Does vdr need simply a directory of its own for recordings (in my case I have assigned it /media/video/vdr ) or a unique mount point (in which case I would have to repartition since I have a 1TB hard drive mounted on /media/video

but have other folders in /media/video (avi, mpg)

Will vdr try to go through /media/video/avi (to my dismay if that is the case!)

or just /media/video/vdr

only /media/video/vdr vdr will look on - so no problem for you.
