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

[lugiber]

I haven't tried with using the scripts dvr-ms files since i record directly to standard mpeg2. But i can't see why this wouldn not work. At the moment i am working on refining the scripts but i should be finished with this in a day or two. How shall i send them to you?

I know that Nero 6 has this for XP media center has this. It would be very interesting to include this in MP. So if there is a dev that feels to jump on this I will make the best damn graphics for it ever... promise

If someone could supply me with a dvr-ms file i could give converting it a try or write custom files for that format. Or perhaps someone is interested in trying the scripts i have written. (I would prefer to have a file to work with.)
I wish i could write something better looking than .bat scripts but i have no experience in programming what so ever. But an ugly solution is better than no solution at all

*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.

I found some time this christmas to finish a script that does this. Current "features" is:

Converting dvr-ms to mpeg2 (i use a really ugly macro solution for this)
Opens an mpeg2 editor that is easily controlled with a remote so that you can edit out commecial breaks
Recompressing the recorded tv if it is too large to burn on a dvd
Burn the dvd

Things to implement:

Ability to add multiple tv shows to the dvd
Some sort of chapters although i have no idea on how to do this

Sounds good where can I get these things?

Also on the subject of file conversion, it shouldnt be too hard to put a converter into media portal for dvr-ms->mpeg2 should it? Im not a programmer but it only needs 3 filters hooked up to do so to convert from dvr-ms -> mpeg2. input file, output file and Moonlight MPEG2 MultipIEX.

Anyone tell us if thats hard to do?

I have to find a web server where i can host the script, it is in the works and will probably only take a day or two. When it is done i'll let you know.

Cool, I'm looking forward to trying your scripts.
Something else that would be cool to have:

Archive - A script to automatically compress to xVid (or whatever codec you prefer) flagged or old recorded tv shows to save disk space. It could have a bunch of preset dimensions and compression settings to choose from. It could be set to run at night while idle.

Once archived one could:

Publish - A script to upload to ftp, or use BattleTorrent ( http://www.downhillbattle.org/labs/battletorrent/ ) to automatically create and publish torrents of videos(or any media) to a blog.

Offtopic: Is anyone working on implementing an RSS/Bitorrent download manager ala http://www.torrentocracy.com/ ?

Hi!

I am looking for something to convert dvr_ms to mpg2 only and have searched the web in vain so far. What is your macro like? I would need something without too many steps that can be handled quickly on a regular basis. I would appreciate any info you could give me.

I love MP, have had some trouble getting it to running because of a dvb card, they were only recently included, and hope my other card can be incorporated soon, too. But when I realized the recording format is ms specific with no converters available, I went almost nuts. :shock: That is ridiculous!:evil: I have a digital mpg2 stream coming into my pc straight to the disk and cannot even work with it! I have enough tools and experience to quickly clean, author and burn an basic tv show, no problem there. But how can I convert the file?

The script is launched via the my programs plugin and lets you convert and burn one recorded tv show at a time. This is what the script does:

1.) Launches graphedit and converts the recording from dvr-ms to mpeg2
If you want to do this manually follow dman_lfcs excellent guide here:

http://nolanparty.com/mediaportal.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1428

2.) Demultiplex the mpegfile to video (m2v) and audio (m2a)

3.) Open the file for editing in a program called cuttermaran where you easily can edit the file using a remote. (http://www.cuttermaran.de)

4.) Checks filesize. If it doesn't fit a dvdr recompresses it with a program called requant (sorry can't remember the homepage)

5.) Multiplexes the two files to one mpeg again using mplex.exe from the software package dvdauthor (http://dvdauthor.sourceforge.net)

6.) Authors a dvd using dvdauthor (http://dvdauthor.sourceforge.net)

7.) Generates a discimage using mkisofs.exe from cdrtools by joerg schílling (http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/cdrecord.html)

8.) Burn the dvd using dvddecrypter (http://www.dvddecrypter.com)

Yeah microsoft, in my opinion. have a tendency fo f*** up good things. As i wrote before if you just want to convert the dvr-ms file to mpeg2 and go on working with it manually just follow dman_lfcs excellent guide here:

(that is what i did when i wrote the script.)
