I would make the following:

Mount the default video-dir as /var/vdr/video0.
Mount the NFS of the other machine and create a symlink /var/vdr/video1 if 
mounted. On mountin use a script that creates symlinks from the recordings in 
video1 to video0. Maybe creating these symlinks on mounting is enough, if you 
don't want record over network. The next solution would be a network attached 
storage server ;) , there both have the same video dir and using a seperat -c 
dir.
