ToDVRMS - 1.0.1.4

babgvant — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 01:28:14 GMT

ToDvrms is a command line utility that converts video files to dvr-ms or wtv.

syntax: todvrms.exe filetoconvert.xxx newdvrms.dvr-ms [-m -g <pathtogrfstub.grf> -v -d -t "The Title" -r "10/30/2008" -y "10/30/2008" -w 60 -as 1 -vs 1 -allstreams -subtitles -getpic -setpic -xml <path to sage xml for metadata> -wtv -c <pathtoedl.edl> -haali -mpchc -msdemux -uselastwrite]

developed for mpg/vob, but other formats may work. ToDVRMS includes two DirectShow filters, they must be registered by running registertodvrmsfilters.cmd prior to use. After they are registered ToDVRMS can stream h.264/AC-3 files from mkv/m2ts into WTV files.

-m: optional, write WM/MediaIsMovie tag to output file
-g: optional, path to a grf file that contains encoder (or other filters) that should be used for the conversion process
-v: optional, enable verbose mode
-d: optional, enable debug mode
-t: optional, add Title attribute with the specified value
-r: optional, add WM/OriginalReleaseTime attribute with the specified date value.
-y: optional, add WM/Year attribute with the specified date value.
-w: optional, how long to wait for writes before considering the conversion finished. Default is 30
-as: optional, index of audio stream to copy; requires Haali splitter.
-vs: optional, index of video stream to copy; requires Haali splitter.
-allstreams: optional, copies all the streams; requires Haali Simple Splitter.
-subtitles: optional, copies line21 subtitles into the output file; requires Haali Video Sink.
-getpic: optional, exports WM/Picture to output path (2nd arg).
-setpic: optional, not recommended, sets WM/Picture to the jpg specified in output path (2nd arg).
-wtv: optional, create a wtv file
-c: optional, path to edl or dtb xml file for commercial removal
-mpchc: prefer MPC-HC filters for MKV/MT2S
-haali: prefer Haali filter for MKV (default)
-mpchc: optional, prefer MPC-HC splitter for MPEG/MKV.
-msdemux: optional, prefer MS MPEG Demuxer for MPG.
-uselastwrite: optional, use last modifed time to determine when writing should stop.

Please post support/enhancement requests in the transcoding forum.
