Hi,<br><h1><a href="http://myth.find_orphans.pl">myth.find_orphans.pl</a></h1>
<br>
I've googled this subject but I can't seem to find an answer.<br>
<br>
I've got a bunch of films I've recorded from TV which I would like to<br>
(a) move from recordings into mythvideo, so I don't lose them and so that I get the mythvideo metadata and<br>
(b) transcode them to xvid in the process, so as to save disc space.<br>
<br>
What I do currently is download them to my laptop using mythweb, transcode them with AVIDemux, and then copy them back to my myth box. This is becoming slightly more tedious every day :) Is there a script or something that integrates nicely into the mythtv GUI that would let me do this? I've googled mythtranscode but I can't see how I can use it to do what I want.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Mark<br>

<br>I run mythrename with the link option to create human friendly symbolic links to the recording file, then run my mkxvid script to convert the XVID format and put them straight into the appropriate folder. I then remove the MPG files from the MythTV storage directory for those programmes I've converted and lastly run <a href="http://myth.find_orphans.pl">myth.find_orphans.pl</a> to get the database back into sync with the changes made at the filesystem level.<br>
<br>After that, all you need to do is go into "Video Manager" within MythFrontend to get it to update the "VIDEOS".<br><br>Unfortunately I'm away from my home systems until the end of the week, so cannot send you the mkxvid script until then.<br>
