I think hes intention was that you should copy the string from his post and paste it into your PostProcessing.bat...

It doesnt exist by default. You'd have to create it.

If you can talk me through it,I'll have a go,I'm not the most technical.......as you've probably guessed,but I'd certainly like to try,
thanks

If you have not worked with bat(ch) files before, you might have a few problems getting this all up and running but let's give it a shot.

click windows start button
select "Run" option and paste this line below into the text box
notepad C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts\PostProcessing.bat

then paste into the notepad window the command I gave you before

start /low /wait /min C:\Progra~2\NPVR\Other\ffmpeg.exe -y -i %1 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f vob "%~dpn1.mpg"

select file, save, close and confirm Yes you want to save.
now you should have PostProcessing.bat in the folder C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts

schedule a program to record (the shorter the better just to test it)
when the recording finishes, npvr should run the postprocessing.bat file, then launch the ffmpeg command we put into it.

if you bring up task manager when the scheduled recording ends, you should see ffmpeg run at 100% cpu (its ok, it will yield for any programs that need the cpu)
when it finishes, you should find a copy of your recording in mpeg format which you can then copy onto you mem stick

If it doesn't work remember what gEd said about "C:\Progra~2" may be C:\Progra~1" on your PC

also a note

schedule a program to record (the shorter the better just to test it)

a recording has to run to completion for PostProcessing.bat to run on it, it won't run the batch in the recording is canceled before the end time.

Hi early snag,
pasted in to run
notepad C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts\PostProcessing.bat
and got a notepad window,but with the error message 'the system cannot find the path specified'
any ideas?... as C:\Users etc does not seem to be present on my machine,or is it that I am I trying to create it?

You will need to create PostProcessing.bat, it's not part of the install.
