Nobody any idea to this?
Now I realized that the 1s are not constant. So for configuring a
cutting I do not know how much ofset I have to add at last to enable
watching the cutted recording upto the end.

Hmm, I expected this but in my case it seems that vdr waits until the
space is needed. I think I have to watch at this, perhaps in the past
when I tested it there was not enough idle.

Should I expect problems concerning the disk speed if there are 1 or 2
recordings and one removing operation?
(Or 1-2 recordings & 1 cutting so that than the source can be deleted
and removed.)
