Having just one file for a recording (unless the recording is restarted, if vdr crashed for instance) just makes things easier if you want to replay the file in a normal movie player for instance. This would make life much easier if you want to replay recordings with for instance xbmc.
<quoting Klaus> VDR is a standalone digital Sat receiver and video recorder, </quote> :)
As a side effekt a recording would always be in one video directory as a whole and not splitted between them.
True, it would be even better if 'normal' directory structure were used also in videoX disks. Now you cant just move one disk from vdr to another. btw, is there a tool which would rebuild /video0 if a disk (/video0) from other vdr-box is moved into new vdr as /video1. That is moving the directory structure from /video1 to /video0 making links and keeping the files on /video1
