Hi list, A first experimental version of the hard link cutter patch is available for VDR-1.7.4. The new version handles 1TB file sizes for TS recordings, properly calculates the switch-to-large-files for 65535 files, and also handles PES recordings properly with the old limits. For TS recordings however, the need for the file size switch is probably obsolete since the limit of 255 files is gone, so this feature might be dropped on later versions. Quick info: The hard link cutter patch changes the recording editing algorithms of VDR to use file system hard links to 'copy' recording files whenever possible to speed up editing recordings noticeably. For a complete list of changes, see web page. Don't miss the README-HLCUTTER included in the patch. http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/patches.html#hlcutter http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/patches.en.html#hlcutter Cheers, Udo _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
