mTranscode BETA - automatic encoding of recordings

[reboot]

I don't know versions...whatever King Argyle's latest one is for rename, then comclean2 (with cuttermaran), or videoredo.
Then mTranscode_0p0p3.vbs.

Are you using getnewname.vbs?


By the way are you doing this for ipod?

[reboot]

Yes, I'm using getnewname.
No, not for iPod, just to save space until I get my full TB SATA storage working.

Any help on getting mtranscode to dump my file to a new directory?
right now not thinking about transcoding.

Thanks

What are you trying to do exactly? Video Archive moves things to a different directory doesn't it? If not then outline in more detail what you want and what you want to do eventually and I'll see what I can do.

You don't need mtranscode to move files to another folder.
A simple statement in postprocessing.bat (at the very end) will do that.

jam_zhou and reboot. thanks for the help. I am using renamerecording so I don't know how to capture the new name except with jam_zhou's scripts.

ultimately I want to convert to ipod compatible mp4 or h.264 (with commercials cut and file renamed).... but don't know what profile in mencoder to use.

so have been transcoding to an avi then dumping the new transcode into my videora directory (it is a free working ipod converting program).

wishes:
#1 would be to convert from mencoder or ffmpeg to ipod

#2 if can't do above, move the renamed file to the desired directory without converting (videora will convert the original mpeg to ipod compat mp4)

either will do. #1 would be preferred.


jam_zhou... for your mtranscode script (or maybe it is the getnewname script that is faulting) is there a way to get it to run on a renamed log (based on kingarglye's latest RenameRecording v1.1 build20051223) that produces a show without an episode name.

example it does not run for me if the recording does not have an episode name.

here is a log it died on:

RenameRecording v1.1 build20051223
Title: 2MinLowTest
Argument: -t F:\Media\Video\Captures\Manual Recordings\ 2MinLowTest_20060111204500.mpg
No episode name found


I am running getnewname.vbs and then your mTranscode_0p0p3.vbs

[jam_zhou]

Post a log file that has an episode name in it and one that doesn't. I'll try to modify the code to account for both. Oh yeah, of course give me the name of the log file.

Wow, is this ever becoming an ad hoc script. I don't use the script so I'll have to rely on you guys to provide feedback.

In any case, if you can give me as many test cases as possible then that will make it a bit more robust.

------------------EDIT-------------------
If renamerecordings leaves the failed filename unaffected then run this:

echo %1 >> transcode_queue.txt
cscript.exe getnewname.vbs

The idea is that both the new name and old name will be put in the queue with only one being valid. The mTranscode.vbs script will skip files that aren't found.

That works!

On another note:
Is there a way to move the renamed file to the desired directory without converting/transcoding. I ask this because I run renamerecording and use your getnewname and mTranscode. So instead of mTranscode, how about a script that parses the getnewname and will then allow me to copy or move the file to a new directory. The rename was obviously the problem, or else would just use my previous postprocess that simply moved the file.

I imagine it is already in mTranscode, I would likt to try it without the transcode of the file just move to new directory.

THANKS
