Welcome to VDR Wiki!

Here arises a wikimanual for the Video Disk Recorder (VDR) from Klaus Schmidinger
(cp. VDR respectively vdrportal.de).

VDR Wiki, like the encyclopaedia of the international Wikipedia projects, is a generally and freely available reference book. Unlike in Wikipedia, installation instuctions for software is most welcome here. The character of a handbook outweighs the character of an encyclopaedia. This wiki grows slowly but constantly: at the moment there exist 360 articles ;-). Thanks to the Wiki-conzept, everybody can contribute information to the knowledge base and work as an author, even without registration. The first steps are truly easy!

The content of VDR Wiki falls under the GNU Free Dokumentation License. Which means: they are and will be free forever.

Before creating a new article, or translating one from the german VDR Wiki, please search also in the new LinuxTV Wiki for an existing article and consider improving that and only linking there from here.
Also have a look at the first steps and the Conventions for this wiki.

Here are some possible Skins for VDR Wiki. Please see and review. Thanks
