well you are right. but i dont want to copy all file to my windows machine.
i was just thinking vdr should be smart enough to recognized its recording
whether VFAT is used or not.
and i also thought to enable this couldnt be so hard. my doing was just a
proof of concept *g*
thank you for your script. it worked after adding a -follow to the find
command.

by the way i have found that vdr doenst handle a forbidden characters of
VFAT only the ":", but what is about the "?" and the "* ". i in fact have a
recording where the title contains a question mark and its also not readable
from my windows machine.
