Is anyone automating the whole process? From capture to burned CD?
I've been capping tv shows for years, and I found I was spending way too much time going from capture, to mpeg, to vcd, to a burned disc. I've been gradually automating the whole thing, and last night was my first complete success.
I use AVI_IO to do the captures with a combination of it's built in timer function and XP's task scheduler. At this point I have a segmented video capture encoded with huffy.
Then I have the scheduler kick off a VBS script that moves the capture into a working folder, and launches tmpgenc and has it process the video with an AVISynth script. AVISynth joins the captured segments and applies a few filters I've settled on to clean up the video. The VBScript auto numbers the output mpeg file so they can stack up on the hard drive.
Then I have the task scheduler kick off another vbscript that grabs the most recent mpeg file, and passes it to a batch file that authors it as a VCD with VCDImager and creates the bin/cue files, then burns those file with CDRDAO.
So now I just put a blank cdr in the burner before I go to bed, and by the time I get up the computer has captured, cleaned, converted, authored, and burned the vcd for me. I'm even thinking about adding a couple more burners so it can handle 2-3 shows a night.
If anyone else has done this kind of thing I'd be interested in comparing notes.
