Batch file auto run after a recording finishes?

[johnsonx42]

the full filename of the recording is passed to postprocessing.bat (and parallelprocessing.bat for that matter) as %1, so instead of using the forfiles command, you could just do this:

ffmpeg -i %1 -acodec copy -vcodec copy "%~dpn1.mpg"
if not exist "%~dpn1.mpg" goto skipdelete
del %1
kipdelete

(the last bit is just to avoid deleting the .ts file if the ffmpeg process didn't produce an .mpg file for some reason)

The latest version of ffmpeg ends up streaming the file distorted and without audio to my blu ray player. I tried using vlc and it works perfectly.

Thanks for the help. The code below works for vlc, but it didn't delete the .ts file afterwords.

START /LOW D:\VLC\vlc.exe -I dummy --dummy-quiet %1 --sout "file/ps://%~dpn1.mpg" vlc://quit"
if not exist "%~dpn1.mpg" goto skipdelete
del %1
kipdelete

hmmm... I'm not sure why that script wouldn't delete the .ts file if the .mpg file was present, unless the .ts file was still held open for some reason. am I just missing something obvious?

you could add some logging, like "echo now deleting file >>dvr.log" and "del %1 >>dvr.log" to see what might be happening.

Yes it's something obvious. The start needs a /wait because it runs in a separate thread.

That worked. Thanks for the help everyone.

Here's the code for anyone interested.

START /LOW /WAIT D:\VLC\vlc.exe -I dummy --dummy-quiet %1 --sout "file/ps://%~dpn1.mpg" vlc://quit
if not exist "%~dpn1.mpg" (goto skipdelete)
del %1
kipdelete

yeah, that would be it. I don't use the start command much, so I didn't think about that.
