That's all you would need to do to get things working. Database also contains the size of the recording, but that's not critical for replay. A quick perl script using DBI could probably automate the process for you.<br>

I have been experimenting with Transcoding, since I know absolutely nothing<br>
about the process, and up to now the as-received files were perfectly adequate.<br>
<br>
However, I have transcoded some sample files and the results are less than<br>
satisfactory. The original files are still there, with a .old extension, so I<br>
can easily delete the transcoded file and restore the original.<br>
<br>
I have realised that the seek table will need to be rebuilt, and the database<br>
entry changed since the original was .mpg and the transcoded file is .nuv. There<br>
may be other steps I need to do as well.<br>
<br>
Is there a standard way of reverting a transcode? Perhaps a script? It would be<br>
useful to know so I don't break anything.<br>
