Enigma2/Dreambox/Vu+
Posted: Tue Sep 18, 2012 6:45 pm
I had read a bit that there is some possiblility to use Comskip with Enigma2. Enigma2 is used on Dreambox and some other Linux boxes like Vu+. But I have not been able to figure out if Comskip already can generate the ".cuts" file that Enigma2 is using. I wrote a small Perl-script that make a .cuts file from the .mdl file and that works well enough, but it would be nice to have builtin output directly from Comskip. I have searched this forum a bit for enigma2 and dreambox but with no result. Maybe one of the already existing formats is the same? The format Enigma2 is using looks like this;
Binary file in the same location as the .ts file with the extension .ts.cuts, note that the .ts ending is not removed and .cuts is just appended to the filename. File contains sequence of;
bigendian 64 bit PTS followed by bigendian 32 bit Type
For the files I have experimented with, PTS is scaled integer with standard 90000 Hz
Type field is:
type 0 = in
type 1 = out
type 2 = mark
type 3 = last play position
Would it be possible to add that output format if it does not already exist?
There seem to exist some third party programs that can convert .mdl to .cuts, but I have not tested any of them as I dont realy need their other functions.
(I have earlier experimented a bit with the standard version of Comskip with good results and have now decided to become a donor and try it on HD recordings which I am testing just now
