Hi, I have the following scenario. I'm using a Skystar 2 DVB-S card on Debian. I want to record one station endlessly/forever. I need a script that records all of time, AND splits files based on EPG (just don't want to have one huge file). I hope you understand what I mean. I want files like: channel1_11-07-07_0-00_title-of-show1 channel1_11-07-07_2-00_title-of-show2 if there is a show from 0:00 to 2:00 and from 2:00 on. can you tell me how to do this best? i just want the files. no vdr etc. it's just a headless server in a dark corner that should make an archive of my favorite station. because of the large file sizes it would also be advisable to recode movies. i'm thinking about making width and height half of the original (then i also dont have to care about deinterlacing). can this be done without much processing with mpeg-data? or do i have to re-encode to xvid or h264? how can this be done on the fly? record and transcode with ffmpeg? something else? i would be great if somebody of you could help me! cheers! ernesto _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
