I have just downloaded the vdr source code and successfully build it. But it seems that present code will work only for some specific tuner card. Can it work for recorded transport stream which are stored in hard disk. Please let me know if it is possible and also suggest how to do so. Thanks...
warm regards, Nitin J

Over a year ago, I converted some MPEG TS clip to the VDR format by patching the VDR source code so that it would read from the MPEG TS clip file instead of the /dev/whatever. Last time I tried it, it dropped frames also when recording. Maybe I did something differently.
So, I ended up using mplayer or mencoder. The output format is "mpegpes". Maybe something like this:
mplayer file.ts -ao mpegpes -vo mpegpes:001.vdr
After that, I think I also created the index file with some "genindex" program. Without the index file, VDR cannot seek the video stream.
You may also want to have a look at the softplay plugin of softdevice, or the mplayer or xine plugins.
