[QUOTE="MartinSmith, post: 180129"] I DO NOT KNOW WHY THIS SITE CONTINUES TO MERGE MY INDIVIDUAL REPLIES IN TO A SINGLE RESPONSE AND THEN STATE, Reason for Editing: Automerged Doublepost, SO I AM FORCED TO REPLY TO Furetto, surfermc and mbuzina in a SINGLE POSTING AS FOLLOWS . . . FURETTO Thank you for responding to my posting, Furetto! > As a small addition to previous posts, you can convert DVR-MS to MPG very easily and quickly from inside MP. Just go into the compress menu of the TV recordings. You, sir, are very modest. I did and Compress WORKS WONDERFULLY ! ! ! The Automatically compress feature is VERY NICE as well. Many, many thanks for directing me to this MP feature, Furetto!! Martin SURFERMC Thank you for responding to my posting, surfermc. > TV2 records in dvr-ms format. TV3 records in mpg or ts formats. If you wnat to record in mpg have a ook at TV3 Server. Understood. Thank you for the education, surfermc. Then MP 0.2.2.0 and MP 0.2.3.0 RC2 employ the TV2 Server. I will take a look at TV3 - I assume must be added as a plug-in, but I will learn more when I read the site. Thanks again, surfermc. Martin MBUZINA Thank you for responding to my posting, mbuzina. > The server should be able to record to mpg, "but" there is no real conversion between dvr-ms & mpg, because dvr-ms is just plain old mpg with a wrapper around (informing a program from where it was recorded etc.). Excellent education for me. Thank you. > So the conversion is just stripping the wrapper and no recoding or anything. Indeed. After reading Furetto's response [noted above and time stamped 21:19] I discovered that this "wrapper" is easily removed using MP's Compression utility - something I am very pleased to find included with MP. That being said, however, it would be nice to simply AVOID the dvr-ms "wrapper" all together unless it provides some value to MP's stability or other value. Do you have any thoughts regarding the value of the "dvr-ms" format over the "mpg" format (sans wrapper)? > This recording has nothing to do with the codecs, because it streams the mpg stream to the dvr-ms file before encoding. Again, excellent education for me. Thank you very much, mbuzina. Martin [/QUOTE]
