[QUOTE="nhm, post: 1267728, member: 164791"] Dear Lehmden - Many thanks for your swift reply and guidance. So just to check I have understood correctly:- what I do at present, using WMC and VideoReDo is: 1) WMC saves its .wtv files to the "Recorded TV" folder. 2) I edit them with VRD and save the results, complete with metadata from the EPG into the appropriate section of my library on one of my data drives, from where they get backed up to an external drive. 3) I delete the unedited files from within WMC (which helps it keep it's catalogue straight rather than just using Explorer) What I could do using MP2 and Media-Buddy would be: 1) Have MP2 save it's .ts and .xml files from new recordings to a single folder. 2) Edit the .ts files with VRD and save as .ts to a second folder. 3) Delete the unedited .ts files and move the .xml's to the second folder. 4) Run your Media-Buddy configured as you suggest on the second folder files to re-mux the .ts's to .mkv's (without transcoding if I so choose) and add the metadata. (Ideally if you developed the option that would be from the relevant .xml rather than from an internet search*). Presumably the .mkv's could be saved to a third folder. 5) I would then need to check that the .mkv's were playable and had the program description field complete before moving them to my selected library folder. 6) Delete the redundant .ts and .xml files from the second folder before editing any more new recordings. This is somewhat more complex than my current process (with more potential for mistakes by me!) but would be do-able, especially if you went ahead with the "grab from .xml" option. *I observe you were thinking this would be coded only as a 'last resort' function, but why not code it as a selectable alternative so that no internet connection is needed when chosen?? P.S. I see you are based in Germany so compliments on your English if you are not a native speaker! [/QUOTE]
