>From the VDR/INSTALL file:

  Note that you should not copy any non-VDR files into the /videoX directories,
  since this might cause a lot of unnecessary disk access when VDR cleans up 
those
  directories and there is a large number of files and/or subdirectories in
  there.

The video directory is VDR's own space, there shall be nothing else
in there. If the user puts anything non-VDR related into it (even by
mistake), it's their fault.
