[QUOTE="porky996t, post: 839545, member: 75318"] Hi Andy, I haven't used MeGUI software, but there are two other pieces of software that "should" be able to do this. I have had a play with both with mixed results. They are :- MCE Buddy - see [URL="http://mcebuddy.com/"]HERE[/URL] MC-Tv Converter - see [URL="http://mctvconverter.vivolum.net/"]HERE[/URL] What I cannot do is to get both pieces of software to start automatically and then monitor my "recorded TV" folder for new stuff. Whilst I can get them to start automatically by placing into the start up folder in Win7; but I have to then manually set the recording folder that the software then monitors - great if your HTPC is on 24/7 - mine isn't. I wanted the process to work automatically when the HTPC wasn't doing anything i.e. record tv show > after midnight convert new show(s) > stop working at 6.30am... and then start again next night. You can set timers in both bits of software to do this. They do convert .ts to .mkv or .mp4 - but you will have to manually point it to the folder you want monitoring at start up :( HTH, M. [/QUOTE]
