> VDR was designed to run on older equipment with limited resources This is nonsense, like Windows (MCE) VDR can run same hardware with limited resources, but with all the same pro's and con's. Actual distros with their actual kernels do have the same requirements to hardware. And looking to the common DVB stream rates here in Europe, users need appropriate CPU power even if they use a hardware decoder. Nobody want to wait 30min until a HD recording is cutted ... @WinVDR Wow, sounds interessting, keep us updated about progress :-) Cheers fnu -----Original Message----- From: vdr-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vdr-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andrey Vlassov Sent: Friday, May 18, 2012 11:43 PM To: VDR Mailing List Subject: Re: [ANNOUNCE] VDR successfully ported to Windows Hi, I stopped to use Windows many years ago -- no interest from me for bloatware with all it's problems and horrible support. There are many programs in Windows to watch TV and some is completely free. But as you know a huge number of people use pirated software -- I have doubt that these people will be interested in your port. VDR was designed to run on older equipment with limited resources -- Windows goes against this policy by definition. VDR was designed for smaller system and there is a trend to use it in embedded systems. From my past experience (I work as Systems Analyst at one of biggest universities of Canada) 85% of Windows users are "mouse monkeys" -- they even do not know how to set variable. Do you expect that they will be able to configure and dig inside of VDR with it's plugins -- I have big doubts in this regard.
