Hi,
I just upgraded to VDR 1.7.15, mainly because I want to watch TS recordings with PS3, directly from PS3 browser with VDRAdmin and StreamDev.. I already have it pretty much working, both LiveTV and recordings work fine. I have been modifying VDRAdmin-am slightly to be more ps3-oriented. :)
Anyway, now the biggest problem is that I have about 1TB of recordings recorded with older VDR.. I'd like to convert all of those to TS. :) Is there some simple shell utility? Writing the actual script is not a problem, if I just knew what program to use for the conversion.

Hi, I guess ProjectX will do the trick, it is scriptable. At least vdrconvert uses it this way to generate DVD-streams from VDR-recordings. the only downside is, it needs an X-server to run. (a real one or a fake one. vdrconvert uses a fake server...) hope it helps. Christoph

No need for an X server if you put AWT to headless mode:
java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar ProjectX.jar ...

as long as it's a normal mpeg2 PES recording (no PES h.264, hd recording with h.264 patch for vdr 1.7.0) projectx (java) will be able to convert PES to TS, the index can be ignored (vdr 1.7.15 regenerates it if missing) not shure about the info.vdr to info conversion (with any luck renaming is ok)
Hi, Just wondering why you want to convert old vdr recordings to ts? Vdr-1.7.15 can play old recording in pes format. BR. Halim
I'm watching the recording from Playstation3, and it can't play PES format.. I know I could transcode pes->ts with mediatomb or ps3mediaserver, but it's far easier to simply have TS recordings and stream directly with http.
Anyway, thanks everyone for all the ideas, I'll look into it.. :)

I've had the same problem recently but with XBMC.
I've written a little script to transcode all my recording (see joined).
For transcoding I've used vlc, the heart of the script is: cvlc --play-and-exit --sout="#std{access=file,mux=ts,dst=$ts_file}" $pes_file
Hope this can help.
Éric.
Thanks for this!
I modified the script slightly, some error checks etc. I also added directory/file renaming magic so the generated files work with VDR correctly..
index files are deleted, vdr will regenerate them when you open the first time.
Oh and this script will combine 001.vdr, 002.vdr etc to single 00001.ts... This is because I couldn't make multiple file http streaming work to ps3, now I don't have to worry about that. :) VDR supports >2GB anyway if you enable it in the settings.

using projectx could be better because its able to correct errors and recognise former cuttings witch can result audio drift or even conversion errors
