[Edster]

On my test box I had a great script to convert mpeg / avi files and save them as vdr recordings so you can watch them on vdr without having to go into mPlayer / different keys to learn etc.

I wiped the box to load it again and lost it. It took me a while to find the original again :

when I get time I'll put back in the little updates I did for scaling / different screen formats etc.
