yes the plugin gets only records with extension .dvr-ms, after the transconding theses files are updated in .avi , i don't see any use case to re-encode again the new avi file ?no ?

It is exist a mean to encode with MP directly in MPEG2 container (whithout use dvr-ms) ?if yes ok i remove the filter

ok , i will fix it in next version

Very good question  ! i will look the powerscheduler API to see a possibility to notice the powerscheduler of Transcoding activities (just information the MP compress plugin  doesn't support this   )

Yes, i think it is due because MP  and  TV cards (like PVR 150) support to encode the stream in variable bit rate  and FFMPEG doesn't support correctly xvid encoding in variable bit rate

But i think FFMPEG and MENCODER is very good transcoder from MPEG2 source, so i think integrated DVRMSToolBox (like crunchie) to extract the MPEG2 stream (for the dvr-ms file) before to apply XVID encoding, what do you think ?

the other solution, it is to transcode dvr-ms(MPEG2-TS) stream to mpeg2 normal stream with FFMPEG or MENCODER (normally it fast) and after re-encode it with the profile selected. For that it is necessary to know if the FFMPEG or MENCODER transcode correctly the dvr-ms -> mpeg2 without lag.

Can you test FFMPEG to transcode the dvr-ms stream to mpeg2 to say it is ok?

So for next version , here the todo list of new version :

1. Fix percentage issue in 2 pass mode.

2. integration of powerscheduler.

3. add parameter color format and quantizer parameter

4. add "My videos" source

5. Use DVRMSToolBox before to transcode in Xvid, h264,... for dvrms file.

todo list in background:

1. add source "DVD"  (select the language and transcode the track)

2. add source "CD" (audio or file)

3. Scheduling ( automatically wake up at specific time and take all tv recorded to transcode)

Bye
