Why not ?

A problem ist that VDR writes itīs EPG-DATA to epg.dat in /video0 - and this is the Video-Directory - so at every EPG-Writing - your harddrive will spin up !
Butīiīm sure that itīs possible to change the destination path.

you have to load the /vdr path and your /settings path into Ramdrive - thatīs all...

A other Problem it the /var/log/messages  there are the VDR-Debug-messages

i donīt know if itīs possible to write this into a RAM-DRIVE....

I think - you should try it.
