[mythtv-users] 'importing' ReplayTV mpegs

2005-02-22 Thread Max Waterman
Hi again,
I have many gigabytes of mpegs from my ReplayTV. Currently, I have just 
symlinked the directory they are in, to /video/...something...

Is there any better way to 'import' them?
Each mpeg has a second file with it, but I forget what it is called 
('.ndx', I think). I am guessing this has the information in it to skip 
the commercials. Anyone know exactly what it is, and/or if there is some 
way I can use it?

Thanks.
Max.

Well, if the .ndx file has show information in it as well as commercial
info, you should be able to google around to find some code that parses
it.  Best bet would be to throw something together in perl and put it in
a script for mythtv/contrib/... That would make a *very* useful
ReplayTV- migration tool...
