cd/dvd burning and editing recorded tv shows (1 Viewer)

[lugiber]

It would be nice to be able to copy and burn dvd and cds from within media portal. What i am looking for is some kind of gui interface to programs like cdrdao etc. To be able to burn mp3:s to a cd would also be nice!

It would also be nice to be able to do basic editing of recorded tv shows (eg cut out commercials) and then burn them on a dvd/vcd/svcd.

a plugin that would use nero but through graphical interface of MP...that would be nice...and as i don't know anything about making plugins...how hard would that be? anyone?

Here is the neuro sdk which would allow for this.

Although it would be better to find an open source burning program that everyone can use.

I guess most people might have nero anyways.

There must be a suitable Open Source solution that is a better choice than using Nero. That way it can be incorporated natively into MediaPortal. If you are using it in a MediaPortal front-end you would only need very limited options.

For cd copying you could use cdrdao which is open source (cdrdao.sourceforge.net)
or cdrecord (http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/cdrecord.html)
which would be my choice since it also supports burning dvds.
(I have a windows .bat script for cdrdao that does this already if someone is interested. )

When burning mp3s to cd you could use lame (lame.sourceforge.net) for decoding the mp3s and cdrdao or cdrecord to burn them to disc.

As for authoring/burning recorded tv shows the burning part can be done with cdrecord.
It would be nice if someone would port/clone the mpeg editing section from mythtv (www.mythtv.org). Mythtv is written in c++ for linux which might cause problems.

I will check out open source dvd authoring software and publish the info on this page.

software to use for dvd authoring

All software listed below is open source (except bbdmux which is freely distributable). I have tried authoring a simple dvd with these programs without trouble. The only thing is to get them to work together...

de-multiplex: bbdmux.exe http://members.cox.net/beyeler/bbmpeg.html

wav to mp2/m2a: toolame.exe http://users.tpg.com.au/adslblvi/ or http://toolame.sourceforge.net

mpeg to vob: dvdauthor(mplex.exe) http://dvdauthor.sourceforge.net

author the dvd: dvdauthor: http://dvdauthor.sourceforge.net

burn the dvd: cdrecord http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/cdrecord.html

The only problem is that my whole mp3 collection is in mp3pro (as I asways have small disk space) and i don't know of any burning software other than nero that supports mp3pro.

Windows XP supports CD burning right out of the box (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/learnmore/bott_03september16.mspx)

But it looks like if you install the free Windows Media Player Plug in from Ahead (makers of Nero) you can do it on 2000, ME, 98 SE as well. http://www.wmplugins.com/itemdetail.aspx?itemid=228

I know this does nothing for DVD recording but CD recording should be able to be added into MediaPortal with an issue.

I guess most people aren't interested in this feature but if someone is i have written a couple of .bat scripts to take care of :

*Burning recorded tv shows to dvd
*Converting avi files to mpeg2 and burn them to a dvd
*Ripping dvds and burning them to dvd
*Cd to cd copy

I am currently working on a script to burn mp3:s to cdrom. It should be easy to write so i guess it will be finished within a couple of hours. All software used by the scripts is open source and freely available for download.

*Burning recorded tv shows to dvd

you mean mediaportal recorded shows in dvr-ms/sbe format?

That would be interesting until the support is built in mp.
