Couldn't you use a much lighter desktop if this is a PC especially for VDR?
Running VDR is important, but not the only purpose. Surfing the internet, watching DVDs and BlueRays, etc. is a lot of fun on an HD beamer. :-)
The desktop doesn't play DVDs or BlueRays. This is done by xineliboutput, xine and xbmc ... To start xbmc a lircrc skript for irexec would be enough. No need for a desktop.
