You'll have to tell xine the demuxer to use e. g.

	xine /video/.../001.vdr#demux:mpeg_pes

But this doesn't work properly if the recording contains dolby audio! In that 
case (at least) you should use my vdr-xine plugin.

If you had applied the following patch before recording them then they should.

Tune to Euro1080 and "wait" for an unencrypted programme.
