How to change video directory

Hi,
probably it's another dummy question:
How can I change the recording directory?

By default recordings are stored in /var/lib/video, but I would like to have another location.
I tried to add it to /etc/defaults/vdr (was ignored), tried to start vdr with -v /<new path> (didn't work), mount bind did work, but probably there's another option.
I've searched wiki and forum and found nothing.

I hope someone can help.
Best wishes
