Everything seems to be working now.
I have converted a few movies, now if someone could tell me if their was a to automaiclly import metda data from mymovies.xml files to a dvrms file that would save me a lot of time!

you need to transform the xml into the sage xml format and put it in the same folder as the source mpeg with the same name.xml and todvrms.exe will use it to populate the metadata.

Are you sure its Dolby 5.1? I know that MKV to DVRMS can not do DTS. I have similiars issue then found out that the audio track was DTS. I know in theory you should just demux the mkv, convert DTS to ac3 and remux but have not done it yet.

Interesting. I tried that & was able to get todvrms.exe to generate a DVR-MS file but for some reason it wouldn't play in Media Center. I couldn't figure out what switches todvrms.exe accepted but found somewhere using Google that -m -v were two that worked so I used those. The MKV files I have have Dolby Digital 5.1 & I was wondering if you know if this conversion process retains that audio encoding?

Thanks for your quick reply. I think I might just get this to work!

The MKV to DVRM profile will stop after completeing the mpg if the file name does not match a show from TVDB. I have been using todvrms.exe to convert the mpg file that is put in the temp folder to convert movies. I think I am doing everything ertong but it works.

So I use MKV to DVRMS to get the mkv to mpg, then I use todvrms.exe to get the mpg to dvrms.

Have you had any success in converting the .MPG to .DVR-MS? The process works up until the point where it creates a .MPG from my .MKV file but then I get the following in the log...

Read metadata from TvDB and build Sage XML file.

Movie Meta Data help?

alton987 — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 01:03:31 GMT

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I am trying to convert MKV and AVI to DVRMS movies with toDVRMS.exe with meta data. I know how to automactially import meta data into to a TV show conversion via tvdb.com but not with Movies. I know how to turn on the Movie stiwch in todvrms but is their a way to automacilly import the meta data say form a mymovils' xml file?

Thanks
