Since this is important for you personaly, you want to change VDR for all users, are you serious?

Yes, where is the problem?

But to change it in a global way like this is IMHO not a way to go.

Did you understand my suggestion? Here again: not writable: warning, not readable: exit. Is that a problem for real-life systems?

The correct solution would be that any user needing it, must decide and configure something. So, a kind of a switch like an OSD option or even a better way, VDR does check existence of a file in this video directory, e.g. ".vdrro", something similar to ".nodelete" ...

Of course: why use the simple way, when there is a complex one... ;)
