Hi,

I am trying to work out an automated method to do the following once a recording is finished (win7):
1) Remove commercials from wtv
2) save output file to avi (to allow playing on smart tv's/etc)
3) extract metadata from the wtv file so that when I save the converted file in my video library the original metadata is still available to me.
4) as a nice feature save the converted file to my WHS 2011 server

Has anyone got thoughts on how to do this.

I know that for part 1 and 2 and 4 I can use dvrms toolbox to do this and comskip (or also lifextender etc) and some scripts.

My problem is I haven't found a way to extract the metadata.
Does anyone do similar to the above and what do you do?
Or does anyone have a way to extract the metadata and I will try to get that to work with the above.

This would create an awesome setup to be able to easily share recordings with commercials removed to friends and family.

Cheers
