I know the cat-version, but I simply want to use the video-directory 
with apache, and it's not quite comfortable to get several files with a 
player over http. So I want one big file for a film.

Is it a problem of the VDR-structure (data-type, etc.) or only a 
security and compatibility decision? Then I'd like a "LARGEFILE=1" when 
compiling and a filesize=0 in setup.conf could mean unlimited :o)
