 Dan, maybe this is obvious if I looked at the zip file but, what is Expresson Encoder?

Is the length of a show availablle in meta data at the start of recording? I want to launch a batch file via file watcher and I want to pass it then length of of a show.

 Yeah I think I'm getting closer and closer and closer to Sage. Particularly after listening to you, Brent and the guys on the podcast last week. The HD200 looks pretty sweet. If I do I want to be sure I do it the right way and not lose any WAF :)

 HP MediaSmart Connect. I've download podcasts from CNet and using VLC I've seen the codec listed at avc1. In those cases, I get video on the extender but not audio because they use mp4a. I am trying to take a TS created on my HDPVR and convert it. This version of ToDvrms works to put it straight into WTV but as I said they don't ...

 Is it possible to use ToDvrms 1.0.1.0 to take a TS file created via an HDPVR import and put it into a WTV file as AVC1 instead of h.264? Stupid extender doesnt support h264 but files of AVC1 type work.

I use the profile 'Convert avi or mkv  to DVR-MS' a lot to convert AVI and TS files to DVR-MS. In the new 1.2.1.8 version of Dtb the profile leaves the original extension on the file so you have to manually go rename it to dvr-ms. I made the small change necessary and created a new profile called 'To DVR-MS with ...

 You guys are getting further than me. I keep getting: Start Process: 8/16/2009 : 9:55 PM InputFile=T:\Recorded TV\Mad Men_AMCP_2009_08_16_21_55_00.wtv Processing actions, this may take some time!! Testing "Processed Files" Testing "Every Sage File" Testing "Every File" "Every File" is a match. Run ...

[quote user="babgvant"]  there is a setting to not prompt for show missing xml files [/quote]  I turned that on and it had no effect.

 Uh...never mind. Decided all I really need it to convert is wtv files. So if I take dvr-ms out of the mix it should work.
