[vdr] Re: rename cuttings patch

["Florian Bartels" <Florian.Bartels@envisage.de>]

Hello, daniel peess,

since I have no VDR, I can't test it: Does VDR really overwrite existing (cutted) recordings, without a question? I can't believe this!
I guess this while(1) loop is a little bit dangerous! And: Filenames have a maximum length, so adding 500 times a prefix will make the name too long!
(I don't think it will ever happen, but I don't know it. Someone said a few years ago: "640kb should be enough for everybody")

Good work, nevertheless :-)

Florian
