My VDR is an (very) old Duron 700 MHz with 1 Technotrend FF card and 1 PVR 350 card.
It has been no problem recording two channels (SD) at a time and watch a different recording trough FF card tv-out. FANTASTIC!
The VDR box is soon going to be replaced by a faster machine, but will keep the current tv cards.
The problem is now to find out how to setup VDR on my new computer.
Should I use
- FF-TVout?
- vdr-xine
- xine-liboutput?
By just reading this thread, I can see that people has different favourites.
My personal fealing is that VDR is lacking recommendations / good documentation on how to setup/configure "TV-out" in the best way, or at least describe pros/cons for each alternative. Is this a point where Mythtv beats VDR? I hope that I am wrong.
Or have I missed anything?

I've only ever used vdr-xine and I must say it's pretty easy to get
going. I've never used (or installed) Linux as a desktop either,
maybe that's where people get problems?
For years it was console-only Debian with nexus-s tv-out. When that
didn't cut it anymore due to things like hdtv, hdmi, etc. I bought a
cheap vdpau video card, tried vdr-xine for the first time, and have
been happy ever since! The few problems I had were all code-related
and quickly resolved by the developers so I couldn't be happier.
The old advice is still true, use whatever works for you. :)
Cheers,
Derek
