A great enhancement would be the possibility to add an output directory instead of giving the -v option. The latter could be assumed to be part of the source directory path. If there would be a --marks option, the splitting of recordings could be handled on the fly (by external scripts/tools). I think about situations, where the vdr-recordings are mounted readonly to do some conversion for dvd or backup and the target could be a SSD or raid 0 system. I would appreciate such an enrichment of vdr a lot. kind regards Gero ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

That way you can provide a different marks file without touching the source dir. Also, you can symlink /tmp/%edit_$$ back to the target dir. On a side note, for editing one big recording into several small one's, I go this way: First, thanks to the Cuttime-Patch, several parts of the same recording won't overwrite each other. And second, for managing noad marks, I have two recording commands to backup and restore the marks file. That way I backup the complete marks file, delete unneeded parts, edit, and restore the original marks afterwards. Another cool strategy would be to use a recording command to duplicate a whole recording under a different name using soft/hard links, except for the marks file, then edit each one separately.

Re: [vdr] Cutting TS recordings outside of VDR
There's one big recording, where I want to cut several recordings from
using different sets of cut marks and store them under different names
outside of the video directory.
I finally manage to extract the cutting code from VDR into a separate
tool. Needs some finishing, but as soon as I'm happy with it, I'll make
it available at projects.vdr-developer.org, just in case someone's
interested in it.
Why don't you just use a wrapper script to get this running, like
#!/bin/bash
SOURCE_DIR=${1%/}
shift
REC_DATE=${SRC_DIR##*/}
SRC_DIR=${SRC_DIR%/*}
BASE_DIR=${SRC_DIR%/*}
DIR_NAME=${SRC_DIR##*/}
CUTTING_DIR=${BASE_DIR}/%${DIR_NAME}
[ -d "$CUTTING_DIR" ] && mv $CUTTING_DIR $CUTTING_DIR.org
[ -e "${SOURCE_DIR}/marks" ] && mv "${SOURCE_DIR}/marks"
"${SOURCE_DIR}/marks.org"
while [ "$1" != "" ] ; do
marks=$1
target_dir=$2
shift 2
cp -f $marks "${SOURCE_DIR}/marks"
[ -e "$CUTTING_DIR" ] && rm $CUTTING_DIR
ln -s $target_dir $CUTTING_DIR
mkdir $CUTTING_DIR
vdr --edit=${SOURCE_DIR}
done

Would be great to have such options, but I don't know if there's a "big need" for this. It's just what I need right now, because hlcut only works with the old PES recordings.

If there's such a big need for having separate marks and output files, wouldn't it make more sense to to add '--output' and '--marks' options to VDR, to be (optionally) used together with '--edit'? Otherwise the cutting code would have to be maintained in two places... Klaus ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

At least I think, that the possibility of specifying target directory and cutmarks is worth looking for enhancements / other tools. I miss the same functionality and would appreciate any efforts in this direction! kind regards Gero ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
Re: [vdr] Cutting TS recordings outside of VDR
like, for example, "vdr --edit=/path/to/recording"? Yes, there is. ;) Thanks, but I guess I should have been more specific. I'm more looking for something that allows me to specify the source recording folder a list of cutting marks and a target folder. Ok, you can't specify the target directory, the default with a leading % will be used, but I do not see what you are missing ? -- Helmut Auer, hel...@helmutauer.de ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
