I think the general consensus is, don't have non-vdr stuff under /video directories! Have you tried setting the permissions on the directories so they cannot be removed? > (vdr is running as root here) Eeeek! Also makes permissions a bit more complex than just changing ownership to the non-vdr user. Can you put the directory elsewhere and use a symbolic link in /video, and check it exists before running vdrconvert? Cheers, Laz
