-	==Installation==	+	==Installation and Usage==

-	Just untar vdrtube-<VERSION>.tar.gz in a directory you like, change to this directory an start it with something like ./vdrtube.pl /path/to/recording/datedirectory.rec. After that you will find a set of statical HTML pages including the player and .flv video(s).	+	===Installation===

-	~~There~~ is ~~an example~~ that ~~show how~~ to directly trigger ~~conversion~~ from ~~inside vdr at~~ helpers/reccmds/.	+	Installation is simple, just untar the package.
		+
		+	# cd /tmp/
		+	# tar xvzf vdrtube-VERSION.tar.gz
		+
		+	===Usage===
		+
		+	You should not need to configure anything for your first run.
		+
		+	# cd vdrtube-VERSION
		+	# perl vdrtube.pl /video/path/to/recording/datestring.rec \
		+	/video/path/to/another/recording/datestring.rec
		+
		+	After that you should have a "webtree" directory where you could add other
		+	recordings by simply calling vdrtube.pl again.
		+
		+	It is also possible to directly trigger vdrtube.pl from VDR. Please see
		+	helpers/reccmds/README for info.

-
-	Einfach vdrtube-<VERSION>.tar.gz in einem beliebigem Verzeichnis entpacken, ins Verzeichnis wechseln und mit ./vdrtube.pl /pfad/zu/aufnahme/datumsverzeichnis.rec starten. Anschliessend findet sich im Verzeichnis "webtree" eine Reihe statischer HTML-Seiten samt Player und .flv Video.

	VDR is very acceptive about incorrectable streams and data files, ffmpeg not always. In some cases this leads to recordings which cannot be converted. Often it helps if you run ProjectX (-tovdr) against the recording to cleanup possible problems in the MPEG-stream. Sometimes the reason for unconvertible recordings is a defect audio-track, so you could try a different one. Sometimes it's simply a quoting problem, so you better use parentheses around the recording name.		VDR is very acceptive about incorrectable streams and data files, ffmpeg not always.

-	~~==Beschreibung==~~

-	vdrTube ist ein Werkzeug um VDR-Aufnahmen (und zwischenzeitlich auch andere Videos) in Flash Videos (flv) zu konvertieren. vdrTube erstellt die erforderlichen (statischen) HTML Seiten sowie einen Index aller konvertierten Aufnahmen.
-
-	In neueren Versionen ist zusätzlich eine Wiedergabe über mobile Geräte wie PDA, PSP, WII, sowie iPod Video und verschiedene Handys möglich. Hierfür erfolgt bei Bedarf zusätzlich eine Konvertierung in MP4 samt passendem Video-PodCast.
-
-	~~Installation und Bedienung sind bewusst einfach gehalten um auch unerfahrenen Benutzern den schnellen Einsatz zu ermöglichen.~~
