Rename Recording

[adam714]

OK adding the sleep 5 worked. i used the slee.exe from the windows 2004 resource kit. and sticking with addepisode rather than the renamerecording.

thanks gEd

Anybody still using RenameRecording? I notice the forum has been dead for a while.

If so, is there an easy way to convert an entire collection en masse?

The other rename utilities seem to be focused on integrating additional online video metadata into filename, which I don't want.

TIA!

I use it, and it works fine. But according to the instructions, it has to look up the program name in the program guide. I doubt you could do that for a batch of recordings, unless the names were still in the program guide.

Mine are, or should be. (I want to rename everything to <subtitle>mpg.)

I'm taking a closer look at WizRenameRecording. It looks like it provides some of the same features, including batch. And seems to be a little more up to date.

Most of these renamers scrape additional Web info, which I really don't need.

Great utility, still working for me with GBPVR 115 & Schedules Direct. Don't think it can do older shows because guide info only goes back 24 hours. Haven't tried it with X2 yet. Has anyone?

Where does it pull its guide info? If it pulls from gbpvr.db3 then older shows should rename OK (in my case, I have existing recordings already in the DB that I want to rename to <episode>.mpg).

I checked out the Wiz utilities last night. They appear to do everything I want, including providing an interactive GUI mode where I can test out parameters before actually renaming anything. I also got the WizEpisodeTweaker for quick DB edits (usually I use SQLite Maestro but that is overkill for a simple description note). So far, highly recommended.

Thanks!

I've been using GBPVR forever. I love it, and I love rename recording.

I want to do an autoencode xvid, specific size, but how do I get it to rename the recording first, (using renamerecording) and pass that value (of the renamed recording) to the auto encode batch or process?

Please help!

I use Wizrenamerecording as the most up to date and stable (ie It works).
Renamerecording(s) just has/had too many problems.

mciarcia: You can do it in postprocessing.bat Take a look at the mencoder posts, and do a forum search for getnewname.vbs
You can then do it something like this:

Code:

REM start transcoder process----------------------------------
REM start /min /low getnewname.vbs
REM end this is what works-----------------------------

REM Testing mencoder section------------------
REM This is the transcoding portion
REM cd "C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\"
REM start /min /low mTranscode_0p0p3.vbs
REM end mencoder test section ------------------

Right after renamerecording runs.
