I agree with you, vdr shouldn't ruin recordings without
special user advice.
Actually, I don't agree with you. I believe vdr shouldn't
ruin a recording ever. ;-)
Two question remain:
1) would even a single frame be lost in the process of simply
switching from one card to another?
After all, switching from 001.vdr to 002.vdr does not loose
frames either.
2) Even if a whole GOP (12 frames) is lost, would you even
notice?
Make the following experiment: Record a few minutes, the cut
out one GOP. Play back the original and the cut version.
Remember that a GOP is less than a quarter of a second.
Carsten.
