Thanks for taking the time to read this.
I'm recording NZ Freeview in .ts format (mux'd H.264 / HE-AAC) which takes up heaps of disk space, and COMSKIP doesn't seem to work either.
I've been experimenting with using postprocessing.bat to run HANDBRAKE to transcode to ffmpeg4 or xVid / mp3 in a .AVI container, and that part of it seems to work pretty well.
However, this raises two questions:
1. Will COMSKIP work on an AVI file if I run it in postprocessing.bat after the transcoding? Or do I need to transcode to MPEG2 first, then run COMSKIP, then transcode to mpeg4/MP3?
<edit> I suspect the answer to this is that COMSKIP only works on mpeg recordings but would appreciate confirmation of this</edit>
2. Is there a way of pointing the GBPVR databse at the transcoded file rather than the original .ts recording? I know GBPVR has this as an option if you set it to auto-transcode, but auto-transcoding doesn't work with H264 / HE-AAC .ts recordings. So I was wondering if there's a command I can run to do this in postprocessing.bat?
Thanks for any help.
