Recorder can't find file after transcoding

Hi,

I'd like to transcode my files (SD and HD from DVB-T) to mp4 to save space. As a test, I ran ffmpeg on one of them as follows 'ffmpeg -I input.ts -qscale 0 output.mp4'. I then renamed the mp4 to the same name as the .ts, and removed the .ts. However the argus recorder says the recorded file is missing, and it doesn't appear under recorded TV in XBMC. Am I missing something, or is this expected behaviour? I.e. after transcoding, should the (new) file still be recognised as a recorded TV file, or does transcoding it break that link?

Thanks,

Rich

Take a look at this page and specifically the rename command

http://www.argus-tv.com/wiki/index.php? ... _Processor

You should create some sort of script that does the renaming
