Re: [vdr] Convert video clip to .vdr format
Hi Dick, i wrote a small shellscript which does the job. It looks, if the original video is a mpg or different and do the right steps to get a vdr-video. You need mencoder and genindex for the script. Let me know, if this works for you, too. regards, Friedhelm. Dick Streefland wrote: I'm trying to convert video clips from my camera (KonicaMinolta A200) to .vdr format, so that I can watch them using vdr, but so far I had no success. The format is MJPEG 640x480 30fps, with PCM audio (7875x16x1). I can convert it to MPEG4 with: transcode -i $in -x mov,ffbin -y ffmpeg -F mpeg4 -N 0x55 --no_audio_adjust -E 11025,16,1 -o $out but i cannot convert it to MPEG2. I found some hints that I could use mplayer to do the conversion, something like: [..] However, when I play this with vdr (after generating the index.vdr file with genindex), this video is not the right size, it skips every few seconds and there is no sound.

[vdr] astra und hotbird ueber diseqc schalter?
Hi, ich habe mir heute einen zweiten LNB auf die Schuessel gebaut um Hotbird empfangen zu koennen. Jetzt weiss ich nur noch nicht wie ich beide LNB am geschicktesten mit meinem VDR verbinde (Beide LNB jeweils Quad). Ich habe 2 DVB Karten. Die professionelle Variante waere wohl einen Multiswitch einzubauen. Dagegen spricht der Preis und dass er extra Strom benoetigt. Zum Hintergrund: Hotbird ist nur fuer meine Frau, da es hier 2 Sender in ihrer Muttersprache gibt. Hauptsaechlich wird also Astra benutzt, nur gelegentlich Hotbird. Deswegen dachte ich mir ob es nicht auch mit einem einfachen Diseqc Schalter ginge, z.B. den folgenden von Reichelt: Axing DiSEQC-V2.0-Umschalter D.h. ich wollte an die erste DVB Karte den LNB von Astra anschliessen und an die zweite DVB Karte den Diseqc-Umschalter mit jeweils Astra und Hotbird. So koennte man dann falls noetig gleichzeitig 2 verschiedene Sender von Astra aufnehmen, oder astra und hotbird gleichzeitig. Zweimal von Hotbird ginge dann zwar nicht, ist aber nicht wichtig. Ist sowas moeglich? Bzw. kann man sowas beim VDR konfigurieren? Momentan habe ich an der ersten DVB Karte Astra und an der zweiten Hotbird. Ich musste dazu in der Channels.conf die Sender entsprechend auf die Karten binden ueber das CA-Feld. Wie wuerde das ueber den Schalter gemacht, da ja z.b. RTL (Astra) sowohl direkt ueber DVB-Karte 1 als auch ueber den Schalter ueber Karte 2 erreichbar sein sollte. Hat jemand so eine Konfiguration laufen?
