Since I don't like switching dvds, I do it the following way:
dvd #1:
-------
moviedir/datedir/
001.vdr
002.vdr
003.vdr
004.vdr --> /dvd2/moviedir/datedir/004.vdr (symlink)
...
summary.vdr
marks.vdr --> /tmp/marks.vdr (symlink)
resume.vdr --> /tmp/resume.vdr (symlink)
dvd #2:
-------
moviedir/datedir/
004.vdr
...
- If you have two dvd drives (/dvd, /dvd2) you can mount both dvds and
play the recording as usual.
- If you have one dvd drive, simply copy the contents of dvd #2 to
directory /dvd2 before starting replay. Normally this shouldn't take
too long because there is probably less than 1GB on the 2nd disk.
- marks.vdr and resume.vdr point to a r/w media, so you can mark some
interesting scenes, stop replay and resume later.
