.TS file format ?

You might try having a peak at the sticky linked oh-so-prominently in my signature.

Thanks a lot Mr. Johnson.
I read first two posts from the sticky from your signature even before. But Post processing thing is in third. :o
anyway I believe something simple, like ffmpeg line you posted earlier, would satisfy my needs. In the end, that's probably what automated transcoding does, right!?

Yep, that's what it does.

If you look at the linked post with my PostProcessing.bat that runs comskip, you can see an example of logic to take different actions based on channel number (though all I use it for is to skip comskip completely on some channels). You could also devise logic to take different actions based on the name of the show (which of course is included in the file name).

My PostProcessing.bat either never starts or it does not do anything.

I have created it in "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\NPVR\Scripts" directory and here is the content (the most simple one!)

cd C:\Program Files\NPVR\Other\

ffmpeg -i %1 -f avi -ab 128k -ac 2 -vcodec mpeg4 -b 1000k %~dpn1.avi

I have scheduled manual recording for test purposes. But after recording has finished, nothing has happened.

If I put real path and filename(e.g. "D:\My Documents\My Videos\Recorded TV\Manual Recordings\htv1_test1.ts") instead of "%1", and run PostProcessing.bat manually, everything is fine!

I don't have time to spend analyzing how to get this work. This is not high priority thing to me right now.
I can put my recordings in Any Video Converter once in a while and get the same result. But, I feel like I lost nice functionality from previous version.
That's why I am not sure whether I will upgrade on my main machine. At least while it works fine with 1.4.7. And there is no skin like Community Skin either! I like vertical skins more. But this is offtopic now - sorry.

What does the Nrecord.log say after finishing your test-recording? It should eigter say that no PostProcessing.bat is found or that it has started.

Have you had a look at BlueRetroVE+ skin?

[johnsonx42]

another guy doing the same sort of thing discovered he accidentally named his file "PostProcessing.bat.bat"

other than something like that I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work. as Reddwarf said, check your NRecord.log.

cd C:\Program Files\NPVR\Other\

Because there is a space in the path you will need to put "" around it I would think like

cd "C:\Program Files\NPVR\Other\"

[zvm]

PostProcessing was starting from the beginning.
the problem was with spaces in the path, but not the one Jaggy suggested.
The recording path is "D:\My Documents\My Videos\Recorded TV\Manual Recordings". Source part is handled correctly passing parameter to %1 variable. But destination part(%~dpn1.avi) was not ok! It should be within quotes: "%~dpn1.avi".
now it is ok! Here is my PostProcessing.bat now:

cd C:\Program Files\NPVR\Other\

ffmpeg -i %1 -f avi -ab 128k -ac 2 -vcodec mpeg4 -b 1000k "%~dpn1.avi"

Thank you guys!
Now I can play with options johnsonx42 mentioned. But some other time.
Good night! (it's past midnight in my timezone)

PS: Regarding Skin, currently I have NextBlue. It is vertical and it is ok, but Community is nicer to me. I can try BlueRetroVE+.
