Default dvr-ms to Xvid conversion

I've written a small app that will let you convert dvr-ms to xvid or x264. It also lets you edit the dvr-ms prior to conversion.

I will add .ts support once .ts files make it into a stable release.

Check it out at dvrbox.sourceforge.net.

Will you turn it into a plugin so it can be used within MediaPortal?

Default Plugin

Not a bad idea ... I'll add it to my list of things to do.

Hi,

Yup we have, at least for DVR-MS recordings. I guess as soon .TS recordings are stable it'll also be possible to convert them to XViD. The Compress module currently has support for conversion from DVR-MS to MPG, WMV and XViD.

Kind regards,
Michel

That's the point!
The conversation-function we have right now only works with my recordings MP has in it's database.
But after some installations and new CVS my recordings database is empty. :?
Having a conversation-tool as a separate module or plugin would be great, so i can choose every file stored on my hdd, that would be great!

Regards
Ralph

Default Thanks

Thanks for the feedback.

While MediaPortal does have xVid conversion, it doesn't allow editing of the dvr-ms files prior to conversion, and (I think) doesn't allow scheduling of conversions (which will be in my next release).

Eventually, I want to move to a client-server model, so that you can view & edit files across the network, but do the actual processing on a different machine.

If you find any bugs or have enhancement suggestions, please post them to sourceforge for me.
