Aktually VDR plays any MPEG file renamed to .vdr just fine. Just rename it (or make a link) to .vdr and put it in a directory following the VDR conventions for a recording (YYYY-MM-DD.HH.MM.50.99). However the index is missing and the trick modes (search, slow) are not working. To fix this use "genindex" to generate an index file. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
