Trying to mount this file simple with mount -o loop save.dd /mnt/backup fails. I found out that VDR are using non-standard disk-configurations and filesystems.
If this were a normal DVD, you'd have to specify the file system:
mount -t iso9660 -o loop save.dd /mnt/backup
But you say the DVD uses a non-standard file system, so this may not work.
Tools like parted don t show partions in the bckup-file
DVDs don't have partitions, and I don't think parted would work on an image anyway.
the OP said "DVR, not "DVD".
I'd try fdisk to see if there are partitions, first, then if you find anything that looks likely, try mounting that.
Also, try the "disks" utility, which also may be able to tell you something about the disk.
Good luck!
