Hmmm i just tried what you said. i couldnt see any strange characters, but
in fact renaming the *.rec dir to a simple string did actually help. if i
make a ls i see "2001-12-24.00:23.50.50.rec" whi ch doenst seem to contain
special character, but when i make a "ls" and then press tab i get
"2001-12-24.00\:23.50.50.rec/". the \ seems to be the problem. so i will
trust you and try the VFAT option. but i am curios why the dir naming is
done in such incompatible way. cant see an obvious reason for this.
but thank you ver much. i will now no longer have to copy my *.vdr files to
input them tio PVAInstrumento.
