I waas wondering if it is possible to demux/remux vdr to burn direct to dvd, while recording. I would like to see if that is possible, that when setting up a recording in the event of limited harddrive space I could record a show direct to dvd, without having to delete anything first.

AFAIK this is not possible, since creating DVDs is a multi-pass operation - you need the complete VOBs to create the indexes and you need the complete VOBs and various index files to create the ISO image. I highly doubt it is even theoretically possible to do this on the fly; at least the ISO disk format is too limited.

Hi, couldn't you record directly to a DVD-RAM mounted as UDF? That way the DVD would just be a 4.5GB sized removable disk, as such not playable in a standalone DVD player, but the data would not end up on your harddisk. You could convert to DVD video format at a later date.

DVD-VR/DVD+VR would be the disk-format for such a task http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/D/DVD_VR.htm
