[vdr] VDR commits ritual suicide on HD signal to FF card

[Michal Dobrzynski <michal@appl.com.au>]

Hi,

I would like to be able to record HD transmissions on my VDR box using 
the usual procedures but I would like to PREVENT the display of said 
transmissions on a per channel basis.

The primary problem is that once a recording of a HD signal commences 
my dual budget DVB-T system with FF DVB-S card for output will send the 
HD data to the FF card which will go nuts with firmware errors to the 
extent that the computer MUST be rebooted in order to for VDR to become 
usable again.

Could a method for marking un-decodable channels be added to VDR? 
Ideally this method could also tag the recordings made from such 
channels in the same manner (ie. This channel/recording contains a HD 
video stream. Are you sure you wish to continue?" and have this feature 
triggered when appropriate (primary output is a FF card) or when 
enabled by the user.

Am I thinking about this the right way or am I completely off?

Regards,
Michal Dobrzynski
