Hi,
how can I convert a video file to the .vdr file format? Can I use transcode or mencoder for that?
I know there are several tools to convert from .vdr to something else, but I want it the other way round and convert "something else" to .vdr to watch the video with vdr, later.
Aktually VDR plays any MPEG file renamed to .vdr just fine. Just rename it (or make a link) to .vdr and put it in a directory following the VDR conventions for a recording (YYYY-MM-DD.HH.MM.50.99). However the index is missing and the trick modes (search, slow) are not working. To fix this use "genindex" to generate an index file.
