[QUOTE="porky996t, post: 895009, member: 75318"] Just my 2p worth. I, too, am currently doing what Elsmandino is doing for two reasons:- 1. To save disc space 2. To allow the files to be played on ipods/mobile phones I use handbrake and convert to .m4v format, however I use the handbrake conversion 'shorthand' within two additional programs. These two additional programs are "Batch Converter" and "Watch Folder". One I find very useful is "Batch Converter" - you point it at a folder and converts everything in it to the format you specify, using Handbrake - it saves loading each file into Handbrake which is so tedious it makes you wonder if it is worth it. The other add on I also use is "watch folder" - again this watches a particular folder and then converts whatever file is in there, and it allows you to move the original file, or delete it etc, etc. Both the add ons can be found >>>[URL='http://videoscripts.wordpress.com/']here[/URL]<<< The only problem I have with this conversion malarkey is the conversion of HD recordings. I am still playing around with the Handbrake 'shorthand' so that the Audio description gets dumped and the actual audio footage which accompanies the TV show is retained. Still got to find out how to do this yet. When I have my conversion setup will work great and can then be automatic. BTW, I don't cut the ads out; whilst video redo is good, I find it too much of a pain to go through all the shows and process them manually so like erichzann I just skip through them. [/QUOTE]
