vdr-convert version 2.2 released: Podcast mode added

Richard F <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> · Thu, 13 Sep 2018 03:02:35 +0100



    vdr-convert is a tool to accurately transcode VDR1.x and VDR2.x
      TV recordings, including all valid streams - video, audio
      (including AC3/DTS 5.1), Audio Description (AD), and DVB subtitles
      - into more compressed and accessible formats, while maintaining
      perceived quality with good compatibility. 

    
    The new Podcast mode provides highly compressed and fully
    metadata-tagged audio (i.e. radio recording) files suitable for
    portable players, using up-to-date codec options for more
    flexibility, better quality and compression than typical broadcaster
    MP3 downloads.  

    An optional post-processing command has been added to trigger
    re-indexing by a media server such as a Squeezeserver.

    Changelog:

    
      Added --podcast option: podcasts stored in subdirectories, by
        Title (like VDR itself)

      
      Podcast audio codec config: Can use (HE)AAC, Opus or MP3

      
      Extensive embedding of metadata in output files (mainly for
        podcasts)
      Added -g option for genre files to define mapping of VDR's G
        tag to text
      Significant H265 setting updates to reflect recent
        improvements
      Slight H264 compression increase to reflect recent
        improvements
      More extensive checking of ffmpeg build options (codec library
        checks)
      Detect short initial recording files & delete (VPS aborted
        start)
      Various other fixes and improvements, incl. for FTP/redo modes

    Enjoy!
