Open Source DVRBox Edits and Converts DVR-MS

DVRBox (SourceForge) | If you are looking for a free program to edit and convert your DVR-MS recordings, you might want to stop by SourceForge and check out the new open source DVRBox project.  DVRBox allows for editing of DVR-MS, batch processing, automatic crop detection, scheduled compression, and more.  DVRBox also easily outputs to several flavors of MPEG-4 including XviD, x264, and more.

Give it a try.

Looks interesting! Have you tried it? I notice they direct us to commercial codecs (Cyberlink) - Hm. Wonder if there is a way to get this onto ffmpeg like so many other conversion/manipulation products?

I haven't tried it yet, but I would bet that ffmpeg is actually used to do the compression.

Any chance that this would also copy the recording metadata (show description, etc) from the DVR-MS to the MP4? I currently do this manually and would love an automated solution.

# Direct Show? Coudl it go the other way xxx to MS-DVR?

Hey this looks like a great program. Does it use Direct Show or use it's own internal CODEC pack? Would it be hard to get it to go both ways? I have some various .ts .mkv & .avi files that are HD that I would not mind converting to MS-DVR. I am running Vista Ultimate MC with a Hauppauge HVR-1600 recording HD OTA ATSC. Again, big thanks for this app. I will be checking it out tonight for sure.
