Skiptool not listing DVR-MS files

tasan · 2008-08-01, 05:21 AM

Should skiptool show any of my dvr-ms files? I was using skiptool all the time, but now that I've moved over to digital, all my recordings are dvr-ms and do not show up in the directory listings within skiptool. Should I be seeing them, or is there a reason I can't edit my skips for dvr-ms files?

It doesn't currently work with dvr-ms.

Ugh, too bad. Okay well, are there any plans to support this in the future?

I gave it a shot a while back and couldn't get ffmpeg to understand a dvr-ms file. The plugin uses the sharpffmpeg dll which is kind of old and it doesn't appear to work correctly with dvr-ms. If I could find a newer version of the dll that would work, I might give it another try, but so far no luck.

If you pick (you may have to install) a different BDA mux filter, such as Cyberlink or ATI, you will be able to produce MPG files from your digital recordings,
or you could try the conversion option in the config (automatic convert DVR-MS to MPEG)
