Following up on my post yesterday. I wrote an action that makes using ffmpeg to convert dvr-ms files much simpler.
It uses a similar method of defining profiles. although in an xml format, to pre-define the video and audio properties ffmpeg will use to convert the file.
To use the new action
- Verify that you have DTB 1.2.0.8 installed
- download this file and extract it to the install directory for DTB, usually c:\program files\dvrmstoolbox, (make a copy of Durrant.Plugins.dll first in case you need to roll back); use folder paths when extracting. It contains a new build of Durrant.Plugins.dll and a copy of ffmpeg.conf that will be placed in Applications\ConvertFfmpeg.
- Download a post r9976 build of Ffmpeg (find one here)
- Extract ffmpeg to ConvertFfmpeg (created in step 2)
- Use the action like any other
- Bask :)
This action will be included in 1.1.0.6 (DTB for XP MCE) when I get a chance to package it up; hopefully in the next day or so.
