Even if vdr files would be VOB compliant, there is the problem of
bitrate; I have not much experience of vdr recordings, but I found that,
for a cropped full D1 PAL (705x576) resolution the average bitrate of
the recordings are about twice the bitrate of a vob file from commercial
DVD, without any quality enhance. 2 ours of video is about 7 GB
(~17min/GB), so you'd need a 9GB DVD or 2 4.5GB DVD to write, that, for
financial reason (not only money, but for saving general resources), is
not very good to me. 
Actually I do not understand such amount of data; the only idea I have
in mind is the possibility that it is due to a rough digitization "on
the fly" they do on FTA channels (the only one I can watch) without any
quality issue, even if it sounds strange they don not worry about
wasting bandwidth.
