Problems with processing

[mugenmidget]

The processing for files is very weird in what it chooses to do. Sometimes it manages to develop Comskip files, encode to XVID, and delete the original as I want it to do. Other times it is sporadic, the most common problem being that it doesn't encode to XVID and has an MPEG called with an "_original.mpg" suffix. These MPEGs do not show up in the recording tabs, so I have to manually move them out to some generic video library folder to play them.

Another issue that's not such a big deal is sometimes Comskip runs and makes log files, but no actual commercials are detected. I would think that's somewhat normal though, so I have no beef with that.

My question is, what can I do to alleviate any of this?

Are you using the built in conversion features? I certainly dont create any file with the "_original.mpg" suffix.

When do you have it set to run comskip (during/after/PostProcessing.bat)?

If you are using the built in conversion stuff, when do you have it set to run (ASAP or overnight)?

I think you're right...because sure enough there's a PostProcessing.bat in the GBPVR directory I don't need. I'll report back if there are any more hiccups, but so far everything seems fine.

Oh, and I have it set to run ASAP. That much seems to be working right now.
