When I convert video material from other sources to VDR, I use mencoder (Linux) or TMPGEnc (Windows) to create a DVD conform MPEG2. Then I use ProjectX to convert the MPEG2 into VDR format and genindex to generate the index.vdr. This works very well for me. Maybe the additional ProjectX step will do the trick for you also.
