Apparently, /dev/video0 is the device node for a video4linux driver that 
delivers (vdr reads it) decoded full frames, and /dev/dvb/adapter0/video0 is 
the device that receives (vdr writes it) the encoded video data, so the 
difference is quite big :-). I know that those dvb files were once named 
differently, but I don't think it ever was /dev/video0.
