[QUOTE="mattmannz, post: 557688, member: 100457"] Here is the final script I ended up using if anyone is interested. It's called via the Comskip plugin in the TV Server using the filename parameter at the end of the recording. I have two cards, an analogue for Sky and a DVB-T for Freeview HD so only the Freeview programs with HE-AAC needed to be converted, the others were recorded with MPG audio. There are probably better and smarter ways of writing this script but this works for me at the moment. Have tested all the various permutations of error situations and it seems to handle them all okay. I used the cli version of Mediainfo to check the file to see if it needed to be converted. I added some logging so that I could see what was going on. Hope someone else can get some use out of this. @echo off rem Change to TV drive e: cd "\recorded tv" rem Start logging echo Starting conversion at %date% %time% > conversionlog.txt echo You passed me %1 >> conversionlog.txt rem Check supplied file exists if not exist %1 goto NOFILE rem Check current audio codec in file setlocal e:\mediainfo\mediainfo.exe --Inform=Audio;%%Format%% %1>audiocodec.txt set /p TOOLOUTPUT= < audiocodec.txt del audiocodec.txt echo The codec in the file is %TOOLOUTPUT% >> conversionlog.txt if "%TOOLOUTPUT%" == "AAC" goto CONVERT echo No need to convert %1 >> conversionlog.txt goto END :CONVERT rem Rename original file and delete temp file if necessary if exist tobeconverted.ts del tobeconverted.ts rename %1 tobeconverted.ts echo renamed %1 to tobeconverted.ts >> conversionlog.txt rem Call VLC to convert renamed file and output as original filename "g:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vvv -I dummy tobeconverted.ts --sout=#transcode{acodec=a52,ab=256,channels=2,samplerate=48000}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ts,dst=%1} vlc://quit echo Just converted %1 >> conversionlog.txt rem Check for file and check file length of converted file and if zero back out if not exist %1 goto DELANDRENAME if exist %1 for %%i in (%1) do if %%~zi==0 goto DELANDRENAME rem All okay so delete renamed file del tobeconverted.ts echo Converted %1 okay >> conversionlog.txt goto END :NOFILE rem No file exists echo Error file %1 doesn't exist >> conversionlog.txt goto END :DELANDRENAME rem Delete zerobyte file and backout echo Problem so rolling back >> conversionlog.txt if exist %1 del %1 rem Rename file to original rename tobeconverted.ts %1 goto END :END rem Nothing left to do echo The end at %date% %time% >> conversionlog.txt [/QUOTE]
