Record in MP4 Format

[p37307]

I use HandbrakeCLI. I call a batch file in PostProcessing.

The code below is saved under c:\users\public\NPVR\tools and is named HBcovertTS.bat

I then call it in PostProcessing.bat as

Code:

Call :LOGMSG Now trying to convert %FILENAME% TS to MP4
Call "C:\Users\Public\NPVR\tools\HBconvertTS.bat" %1
Call :LOGMSG Finished Converting

The code I use is:

Code:

set hb_dir=E:\handbrake

"%hb_dir%\HandBrakeCLI.exe" -i %1 -o "%~dpn1.mp4" --preset="High Profile"

Play around with the different Handbrake presets (I use "High Profile") to get the results you want.

Oh, to do a recursive search of recording already in your PVR, I use the following code that I found on How-to-batch-convert-multiplex-any-files-with-ffmpeg: Of course I adapted it for my HandbrakeCLI command.

Code:

@echo off
dir/b/s *.*ts >mkvlist.txt
for /F "delims=;" %%F in (mkvlist.txt) do e:\handbrake\HandBrakeCLI.exe  -i "%%F" -o "%%~dF%%~pF%%~nF.mp4" --preset="High Profile"
del mkvlist.txt

To create a batch file just create a text file with notepad then change whatever.txt to whatever.bat.
