Mmm, i tested the original "genindex" again and it works only for files that 
are created by the current vdr/driver combination (although the file is about 
150% in size and "length" according to the progressbar!), but for some old 
recording made a year ago the file produces glitches, green-meshs and 
playback-breakdown.

But maybe i did something wrong with the old files:

streamtype tells me that current vdr-files are ps-streams.
streamtype told me that the old recording had av_pes format.
so i used

av_pes2ps 00x.vdr >../somedir/00x.vdr

These files play just fine without index.vdr and in mplayer too.
But somehow they are not the same as "native" vdr-files!
