Hi, I have been using VDR for over 10 years now, so I currently have ~4TB of VDR recordings. Some of them are SDTV/MPEG2, many of the newer recordings are HDTV/H.264. I wonder if there is an easy way to recompress all recordings that are not already H.264 into H.264 files, making them a lot smaller without losing any quality. Since my HTPC is using the graphics card anyway, I do not rely on the vdr GUI. As long as the result can be played with xine and mplayer, it would be fine. Would it be easy to write a small script that goes through all recordings, finds out whether the recording is MPEG2, determines the H.264 bitrate that produces approximately the same quality and calls mencoder to convert it? Has somebody already done that? Any pointers welcome! Thanks, Carsten. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
