TS to MPEG2 transcode fix

[bgowland]

sub - further to my post yesterday, I think I've found a fix for the ts to mpeg2 transcode problem and thought it was worth a separate post

When trying this from Video Library, if you remember, the popup says that it's beginning transcode then disappears almost immediately.

From the pvrx2.exe.log...

Code:

2008-11-03 19:44:15.379    VERBOSE    [1]    getValue: /settings/AutoConvertTSCommand : -y -i "{SOURCE_FILE}" -vcodec copy -acodec copy {DEST_FILE}
2008-11-03 19:44:15.379    VERBOSE    [1]    TS Conversion: "C:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR\Third Party\FFmpeg\ffmpeg.exe" -y -i "D:\GB-PVR\Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps\Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps_20081102_23152345.ts" -vcodec copy -acodec copy D:\GB-PVR\Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps\Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps_20081102_23152345.mpg

...running this from a command prompt, ffmpeg told me it was Unable to find a suitable output format for 'D:\GB-PVR\Two'.

Looks like the config.xml entry needs {DEST_FILE} to be put in quotes.

Cheers,
Brian

Here is the mencoder fix that I use do to the same thing

Note that ts files are still mpeg, so I am not sure this converts to mpeg-ps (which is what I think you are implying) as much as fixing a broken ts capture.

Give the attached patch a go. I havnt tested it, but from your description it looks correct.

Yep that did it. Even without having quotes around {DEST_FILE} in config.xml, that correctly transcoded to mpg from Video Library.
