This should be right. But if you happen to have more free space on 
video.002 the "chaos" begins. VDR records its files to the drive wirh the 
most freee space at the time of recording. If you have only slightly more 
free space on video.0002, vdr  may recorf 001.vdr to video.002 and 002.vdr 
to video.001
You'll have symlinks on video.001 to the 001.vdr files on video.002
And if you dimount video.002 in between, you see your recordings but can't 
play them... I would not recommend using more than 1 video directory, use 
Helmuts approach...

Linux, 'cause I reboot less often than Windows users reinstall.
