My question is, given the way I've installed VDR, what's the best/easiest way for me to apply this patch? Do I have to compile VDR from source myself, or can I somehow modify the debian VDR package sources on my machine and build them with this patch applied?
I'm not familiar with Debian packaging, but I suppose the latter would be possible, and perhaps the maintainers of your Debian VDR package would consider including the patch in the package's source tree as an optional one so it'd be easier for people who want to rebuild it. (Or even just apply it unconditionally by default, that's what we've done in Fedora for a long time and there have been no complaints.)
It forces reduced 2-bit mode in subtitles, not a nice thing to do if you have hardware capable of displaying the original subtitles :/
In Mandriva we have a hack allowing the device plugin to force 2-bit mode: http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/vdr-plugin-dxr3/c... http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/vdr/current/SOURC...
