That way I don't have to put any extra bandwith limitations on the process and now I can use my VDR just a few seconds from real-time anywhere in the world where there's an 800kbps downlink and a VLC, xine or mplayer. Works great. Now if I could only get a faster ADSL uplink so I can improve the image quality. /Magnus ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

You can start a conversion after the file has been recorded completly. Take a look here: http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/VDR_Optionen#record Have a nice holiday.
