Description-en: Video Disk Recorder for DVB cards
Video Disk Recorder (VDR) is a digital sat-receiver program using
Linux and DVB technologies. It allows one to record MPEG2 streams,
as well as output the stream to TV. It is also possible to watch DVDs
(hardware accelerated) with some comfort and use an IR remote control.
.
This package contains the VDR main program which is controlled via the
PC keyboard or a IR remote control.
.
NOTE: You should install compatible DVB drivers before using these
programs. Also the standard VDR (without special plugins) requires
a DVB-Card with an integrated mpeg-decoder, a so called
Full-Featured Card.
