@aflegg, mencoder will happily accept all *.vdr input files to generate a single output file. I'll have a look if I can add vdr support to mediaserv (I'm just procrastinating, I promised myself I'd do it as soon as I learned about mediaserv, and I still haven't started). Now, I'd like if you added multiple languages to the metadata, and pass the corresponding aid to mencoder, so I can procrastinate even more , no, seriously, that would be a useful option.

@chelli, I tried mobilevdr, unfortunately I cannot even get the channel list: I have many channels and vdr.svdrp chokes reading them. If I had access to a keyboard I'd patch it to read line by line instead of putting them all in a big string, than it is then split in a list to be processed line by line.....
