اب میں تھوڑی دیر کے لئے MCEBuddy کی ترقی کے مندرجہ ذیل کیا گیا ہے, یہ ایک سے زیادہ ہم آہنگ فارمیٹ میں WTV فائلوں کو transcode صرف مفت طریقہ تھا کے طور پر. تاہم یہ بیٹا میں اب بھی ہے, اور یہ ہے کام کی حالت میں 2 میرے دماغ میں downsides میں. اس ویڈیو جس معیار کا ایک ناگزیر نقصان کا مطلب ٹرانسکوڈ, اور یہ بھی کہ یہ ہر ایک ریکارڈنگ کو transcode ایک طویل وقت لگتا ہے کا مطلب ہے. بھر 4 hours for a 1Hr BBC HD recording on my Sempron LE-1100 server.Yesterday I discovered another free tool for converting WTV files, کہا جاتا ہے MC-TVConverter. I gave this a quick trial run with a 1:05hr episode of Life recorded from BBC HD. The file is 4.84Gig and contains H.264 and AC3 streams, and ideally I’d like a new file in ts, mkv or mp4 format which contains the same streams, unaltered. My trial only took just under 5 minutes to crunch the file, and to be honest I wasn’t very optimistic that it had worked. However, the ts file generated plays back perfectly! Unlike MCEBuddy, MC-TVConverter has done exactly as I hoped — it simply remuxes the streams without any transcoding of the streams. Result!
MCEBuddy does have some other very useful features however. It has a folder monitoring system which automatically detects recorded files, and it has support for removal of advert breaks. Can MC-TVConverter do the same? Apparently so! Both features seem to be present. I will be testing both in the next few days and will update this article accordingly.
Update 27-Feb-2012
As HunnyPuppy points out in the comments below, MCE-بڈی 2 final is out and since 2.1.2 also does a quick remux without transcode, and has several advantages
check the unprocessed profiles of mcebuddy. یہ transcoding بچنے کر سکتے ہیں.
FYI incase you didn’t know, MCE-بڈی 2.3.15 now supports hardware (quicksync and opencl) encoding. That’s a 10x increase in speed for me using the High Quality profile.
Cool stuff — on yesterday’s update with 2.3.14 BETA now MCEBuddy support HD H264 remuxing WITHOUT transcoding. Damn this thing is fast!
MCE-بڈی 2.3.12 rocks! 95+ new features including support for TIVO! Gotto say I love this more each day
So here is a FIRST, MCE-بڈی 2.3.9 can now SAVE the files back into WTV format after removing the commercials
Did you know you can ask MCEBuddy to save the Metadata (either manually right click on the file and click on Generate XML) or select the option to create an XML file in the conversion settings page.
The thing that’s pushing me away from MCEBuddy is that when it transcodes or remuxes, it loses the show metadata. I have to try to figure out what the file is from its name. Comskip is a bit difficult to get tuned so it doesn’t clip stuff you want to watch, but the metadata loss is the killer.
Agreed — its the most important thing to fix in MCEBuddy IMHO. You can get it to put lots of info into the file name though and then use another app to rename the file properly. I use media center master which works pretty well.
This just keeps getting better.
Now you can get eMail notifications on conversions (failure or success). کے ساتھ 2.1.8 you can extract closed captions from recordings as subtitles and also sync them with the video automatically when removing commercials.
You can also trim video’s now to remove those extra few minutes before and after the show.
Check out 2.1.5 — it now has support for selecting the audio language in the video file — that’s a first for any commercial remover and video converter 🙂
I love the new features, volume adjustment, drag n drop files to convert — all in all I think MCEBuddy is way just better than MCTV converter now.
Better yet try 2.1.3
Much better performance and stability than 2.1.2 — optimized conversion engine, the handbrake (M4V) profiles are super fast now!
You’re quick on the uptake! Didn’t it only get released today? Cheers for the notification 🙂
Incidentally — the MCEBuddy page isn’t very helpful at pointing to the latest release — the best location to start with is https://sourceforge.net/projects/mcebuddy2x/files/
Actually MCEBuddy starting Release 2.1.2 also supports a simple remux without transcoding in a few minutes. The profile is called NoRecode (it repackages the remuxed .TS into a .AVI file).
اس کے علاوہ, the tools used by MCEBuddy and MCTV converter are exactly the same (both use a tool called ReMux) except that MCEBuddy has support more file types (MKV) and failure scenarios. e.g., if ReMux fails to convert a file (it has limitations), MCEBuddy has a fallback mechanism to Remux the file (albiet it takes longer) without transcoding it.
Couple of additional featues that MCEBuddy has:
1. MCEBuddy is better at handling folder monitoring (fewer issues with files which are currently being recorded in the folder)
2. MCEBuddy supports multiple simultaneous convresions
3. MCEBuddy has support for creating folders and renaming the output file based on the series/movie data
4. MCEBuddy has multithreaded supported for conversions starting 2.1.2 (about 20–30% faster vs older versions)
5. MCEBuddy has various fallback mechanism for handling convresion failures (you’ll be surprised how many videos have corrupted or non standard formats)
Ahha, so I see. When I wrote this post tho, MCE-بڈی 2 was still in beta. معلومات کے لیے شکریہ, I will be giving it a try in the near future
