Re: [Vista] Vista Media Center - DVR-MS vs. WTV
Completed Graph |
1. Download GraphStudio (open source update of Microsoft's Graphedit)
»blog.monogram.sk/janos/tools/mon···hstudio/
2. Download Moonlight DumpOS and M71 MPEG Muxer directshow filters (just install the Moonlight stuff):
»www.free-codecs.com/download/ace···pack.htm
3. Run GraphStudio. Then open a WTV file on your Fiji machine. After a few seconds, it should come up with an algorithm for decoding and rendering the medial file. You can see WTV comes with a lot of baggage!
4. Now, highlight and delete the audio renderer (typically DirectSounds) and video renderer boxes. Then highlight and delete the audio and video decoders that the renderers used to be connected to. You should have two DTFilters left that used to be connected to the audio and video decoders. Leave everything else (unused baggage).
5. Now, using GraphStudio's menu insert two filters. First, the Moonlight M71 Muxer. Then, the Moonlight Dumpos (which should result in a window popping up asking you for the output filename. You can choose anything you want your output file to be called). Close the insert filter window.
6. Connect both the DTFilters to the input pin of the Muxer. Then connect the output of the Muxer to the input pin of the Dumpos.
7. Now, hit the "play" graph button! If everything works as it should, you should have a standard mpeg file at the end of the processing. Unfortunately for me, it looks as if processing occurred in realtime, meaning for a 2 hour WTV file, it took me 2 hours to get the MPEG created.
Bummer about the processing time, but at least I can now have a standard MPEG file that can be played on my other computers (WinXP, non-Fiji Vista, etc). Maybe other people can improve upon this technique so that:
(a) it is automated
(b) include other DVR-MS metadata (captions, etc)
(c) speed up processing
any takers?? |

| I've been wondering about this as well. I sometimes use Windows Movie Maker to edit my HD DVR-MS files, removing commercials and converting down to a DVD resolution WMV file for playback on my wife's laptop when she travels. I'm concerned that WTV will not work with Movie Maker like DVR-MS does. |

| Currently, Vista Movie Maker will NOT work with WTV files, even when run on the Fiji-patched system. I have confirmed this myself, and has been confirmed by others (checkout the green button forums). |

Thanks... The TV Pack did give me more Clear QAM Channels using my HVR-1600 but WTV kills it for me.
Is there a hack to have TV Pack use DVR-MS instead?

I was able to convert the new .wtv recorded files to mpeg using DVRMSToolboxGUI. It will report that the input file is not a DVR-MS file but it continues and once completed I had a .mpg file that played in Windows Media Player and also opened in my MPEG video editor.
I used my profile "Convert to Mpg with AVIVO".

I don't see anything in that install package named 'M71 MPEG Muxer'. Does it go by another name, or is it distributed with some other software you have to have licensed? |
|
| I haven't installed the codec pack myself, but according to the webpage in that link it is included:
• Moonlight
- Moonlight DumpPos Filter 1.0.61.31002
- Moonlight MPEG-2 Multiplexer 2.2.0.31104
- Moonlight Odio Dekoda 1.26b4
- Moonlight WinDivx Decoder 2003.11.28.1
Moonlight MPEG-2 Multiplexer = M71 Muxer |

Yes, I'm looking at supporting WTV exactly this way in MCEBuddy 2.0, assuming I can speed things up. I'll go to an intermediate MPEG first so most open source tools eg. commercial removal) will work with it. I've found that reliability directly against DVR-MS has been pretty inconsistent. So it'll be (a), will write out (b) assuming I can fix (c) |
