Video Disk Recorder (VDR) is an open-source application for Linux designed to allow any computer to function as a digital video recorder, in order to record and replay TV programming using the computer's hard drive. The computer needs to be equipped with a digital TV tuner card.{{Cite journal |last=Mielewczik |first=Michael |title=Video vom Feinsten. Digitaler Videorekorder unter Linux mit VDR 1.2 |journal=Linux Intern |volume=3/2003 |pages=42-43.}} VDR can also operate as an mp3 player and DVD player using available plugins. VDR uses drivers from the LinuxTV project. VDR was originally written by Klaus-Peter Schmidinger, one of the founders of CadSoft Computer GmbH and original developer of the EAGLE electronic design application. The software was originally hosted on CadSoft's server.
