[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1267565, member: 109222"] Hi. VideoReDo can edit .ts easily but can not save as wtv or dvr-ms files. No other tool can do this as both are closed and proprietary formats only Microsoft has the specs... Aside this it really is uncommon to store all videos as "recordings". Recording files (no matter if .wtv or .ts) are normally meant as "temporal" files, just "watch and delete afterwards"... Nearly every user who store videos for long time usage uses a different format. Mainly mkv but mp4 or avi are common too. For those videos the "movies" and "series" module (in WMC and MP and Kodi and...) are meant for. And there you can have much more metadata and also various fanart types as you ever can get from EPG, no matter if it is SD or OTA or anything else... For this there are various tools out there that can add the metadata and fanart and convert those .wtv files to .mkv or mp4, sometimes everything with one single mouse click... I'm recording a lot too, indeed I never watch TV "Live". Everything I ever may be interested in will be recorded. So I can skip commercials and watch it when I like to, not when the TV company means I have to watch it. I delete the recording after watching if it's not that important. Series episodes, documentary or movies I want to keep are then edited with VideoReDo (as it can cut frame accurate without recoding), removing the commercials and the pre/post recording time. After this the video then is prepared with my own tool "Media-Buddy" that recode the way too big videos to h265 codec (that only needs around 10-20% space compared to the original mpeg2/4 used in the DVB streams), store it in a mkv file and rename the video according to my preferred naming scheme and adds all needed metadata and fanart to it. This way I have "close to perfect" prepared videos that easily will import into MP, Kodi, Plex, Emby, NPVR, JRiver,... If you like to have further information feel free to ask... [/QUOTE]
