Video Disk Recorder ('VDR')
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
These files contain the source code of the "Video Disk Recorder",
|
|
which is based on the DVB driver of the LinuxTV project (http://linuxtv.org).
|
|
For details about the "Video Disk Recorder" project please
|
|
refer to http://www.tvdr.de.
|
|
|
|
There is also a remote control unit described on those
|
|
Web pages, which can be used within this program.
|
|
|
|
Please see the INSTALL file for details on how to install
|
|
this program on your computer.
|
|
|
|
The MANUAL file describes how to operate the VDR.
|
|
|
|
The CONTRIBUTORS file lists all the people who have contributed to the
|
|
development of VDR.

Yet another "set-top box"?
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
The "set-top boxes" available from commercial companies all have
|
|
one major drawback: they are not "open". This project's goal is
|
|
to build an "open" digital satellite receiver and timer controlled
|
|
video disk recorder, based upon open standards and freely available
|
|
driver software (of course, the hardware still has to be bought).
|
|
|
|
The on screen menu system is simple, but shall provide all the
|
|
possibilities necessary to perform timer controlled recording,
|
|
file management and even "on disk editing". The menus
|
|
of commercial set-top boxes usually are a lot more fancy than
|
|
the ones in this system, but here we have the full source code
|
|
and can modify the menus in whatever way desired.
