It isn't as hard as it seems. Even I can do it =:-D

vdrsync-0.1.2.2 is what I use. I just follow the instructions in the
MANUAL file and by magic I now have 4 DVDs.

Having found a source of cheap brand name DVD media I think that I will
buy a DVD-R soon as it also helps for backups (my /home is 3.8 Gb).
Maybe then I will look at putting a Tk interface around the perl script.
Oh wait TkDVD does that =:-D But you still have to convert from VDR file
format.

Cheers

Tony
