PID Selection
Posted: Mon Mar 19, 2007 5:14 pm
erik,
I am having trouble with PID selection. Most of the digital OTA stations in my US area have subchannels. If I record a station on a sub-channel, comskip is selecting the first sub-channel. I using comskip in conjunction with BTV 4.6. On channels where there is only one channel or I have recorded a show with the focus on the first sub-channel, comskip ROCKS!
I would like to tweak another 10 seconds of the end of each cut, but that will be for later. A great improvement over SmartSkip! However, how do I auto-select the PID stream of a show that is on a sub-channel. I am trying to setup an automated processing of shows like this:
Show is recorded.
BTV tags the file.
CustomPostProcessing.xml runs Posthaste.exe.
PostHaste runs a batch file.
Batch file runs VideoRedo QSF.
Comskip detects commercials and outputs BTV and VDR cutlists. (VDR for later if I want to cut out the commercials to archive the show elsewhere)
BTV runs ShowSqueeze and compresses.
This is my goal. How do I pass on the PID I desire automatically? Is there some field comskip can read for the desired PID after BTV tags the file when done recording?
Hmm...I may have the cart before the horse here. I may need to find out how to do that for VideoRedo's Quick Stream Fix first and then only have the remaining stream for Comskip to parse.
Hmmm...help?
