Tip: Re-running post processing on a .ts file

Huh? Re-running post processing on a .ts file without re-recording it, yes. One or two users have asked how to do this so here’s the trick, it’s not exactly intuitive but it works for me.

Assuming you took a long capture with this:

./HPVRCapture -t 00:03:00 -V COMPONENT -A RCA -a AAC -o MyMovie.ts -P1

… and for some reason the post processing fails, runs out of disk space or for any other reason … you want to re-run the post processing, just do this:

./HPVRCapture -t 00:03:00 -V COMPONENT -A RCA -a AAC -o MyMovie.ts -P1

That’s right, re-run the same command. You didn’t specify -f, so the recording will not be overwritten – but post processing will continue as though it was a new recording.

Words of warning: If MyMovies.ts is so important to you that you can’t afford to lose it, back it up first.
