Only using Comclean on MPG4 files

[smithochris]

Hi,

I have the following setup: I have comskip running in postprocessing.bat, followed by renamerecording. Both of these work fine. Then, every night, anything that is recorded is transcoded to mpg4 (video ipod).

I don't need comclean to run for the original recordings, because I watch them in GBPVR and the commercials are automatically skipped. I would like the option to run comclean on specific mpg4 files that were transcoded though. Is this possible?

I guess the alternative would be to have comclean run and then transcode the new file that was generated, but I like having the whole recording in GBPVR...

Maybe you can use mencoder withou re-encoding.
I don't know how to do this on mpeg4
Maybe someone else?

How could I change the commands in comclean.bat to look at one specific mpg4 file? The generated comskip file should still work on the mpg4 file, right? The commercials will still be in the same spots whether it is a regular mpg or an mpg4 file, so I don't see why it wouldn't work.

I did not try it.
It will depend on which mpg4 container format you use.
Did you try?

I don't know how to try it. I don't even know where to begin. I'm not sure what mencoder is...
