Neither M$ MediaPlayer, PowerDVD nor WinDVD played VDR-Recordings
without some little help like Elecard Plugin.

That's exactly what I mean. If we use VOB, we'll have a very compatible
format with tons of software and enough pids for multiple audio-,
subtitle- and video-streams. And we could write the video_ts-directory
directly to DVD by using packet-writing with UDF - which means we could
directly record to DVD+/-R(W) - or CD as mini-DVD, if we set file size
to 700 MB (I think most of stand-alone DVD-players would also handle CDs
with DVD-content)!
