[vdr] VDR keeps restarting.

2006-11-25 Thread Krist van Besien

Hello,

I've installed VDR on an ubuntu box, uding the ubuntu packages. (I
plan to build one from sources though). This gives me VDR version
1.4.0
First I started VDR with the option to use a NFS mount as the place to
store its recordings. VDR worked, and I could watch FTA channels.
Recording didn't work wel though, and I suspected that the NFS was to
slow, so I changed the video dir to a local one.

After that change VDR won't start anymore. runvdr keeps restarting vdr
after 11 seconds, and I have absolutely no idea why. There is no
information in any logfile whatsoever that gives any hints as to what
might have been going on.

- Hence my questions: Is it possible to get VDR to be more verbose in
its logging?
- Is it possible to make VDR log to its own logfile?
- What might be causing the restarts evere 11 seconds?

Krist

[vdr] VDR recordings and Apple iMovie / iDVD

2006-11-25 Thread Jussi Mantere

Hi,

has anyone successfully used a Mac and the apps in Apple's iLife suite to 
(edit and) burn VDR recordings? I'm happy playing them back using VLC, but 
since the Apple apps only understand the formats supported by Quicktime 
(and mpeg2 not being one of them), they don't work directly.


I'm looking at a couple of options, and before trying further I thought 
I'll ask if someone's had success already.
1. Buy Apple's MPEG2 decoder. Wouldn't want to invest $20 before knowing 
it will definitely work.
2. Use VLC to transcode. Takes forever and with my short trial, the output 
didn't quite work with iMovie.

3. Find a 3rd party application to cut and burn the mpeg2 files directly.

br,
 jussi

Hi,

You can watch/edit vdr recordings using Streamclip & Apple's MPEG2 codec.
It works very well.

Me is using:

vdrsync-0.1.2.2.pl (modified a little bit to fit to my used tools,  
see below)

dvdauthor (DVDAuthor::dvdauthor, version 0.6.11)
mkisofs (mkisofs 2.01)
mplex (mjpegtools mplex-2 version 1.8.0 (2.2.4))

Bye.
