Even though "sbin" and section 8 is generally for "system administration commands", which vdr clearly is not, in my opinion vdr is even less a "user command" which "bin" and section 1 more or less implies. No need to clutter normal users' PATH with executables they aren't really supposed to run.
Well, that depends. The 'typical' use of VDR as recorder daemon, starting at boot time, would suggest this. However, I also have a secondary VDR on my notebook, relying on streamdev and xine-plugin, and in that case its really more an user process that is only started when needed.
On the other hand, I don't use the default make install anyway. ;)
