DVR-MS Output
This option page is used to set the metadata and output characteristics of DVR-MS files created
by VideoReDo.
Preserve Closed Captions: When checked, closed captions in the original stream are preserved through
the editing process. Closed captions are normally stored as user data in the video stream and should not
be confused with subtitles. In DVR-MS files, closed captions are treated as a seperate stream. If you are
saving DVR-MS file to a different format, such as MPEG program stream, VideoReDo will convert the DVR-
MS captions to industry standard format. Likewise, industry standard formatted closed captions, will be converted
to DVR-MS output when saving to a DVR-MS file.
Metadata Options: The options in the box, are used to alter the content of the metadata that is stored with
all DVR-MS files. The metadata is used by Windows Media Center to display the title, sub-title, description
and recording date and time.
The 'Title', 'Subtitle', and 'Description' fields all behave in a similar fashion. If left blank and the source file is also
a DVR-MS file, then the source data is copied, intact, to the output file. If you wish to override the setting you
can enter replacement text. The three placeholders, '{TIME}', '{DATE}', and '{ORIG}', are used either substitute
the current date and time or contents from the same field in the source file. Please see the examples at the
bottom of this page.
TItle: Leave blank to preserve the original metadata content, otherwise put in the overide text. This field
refers to: "Title" metadata field.
Subtitle: Leave blank to preserve the original metadata content, otherwise put in the overide text. This
field refers to: "WM/SubTitle" metadata field.
Description: Leave blank to preserve the original metadata content, otherwise put in the overide text.
This field refers to: "WM/SubTitleDescription" metadata field.
Prompt for metadata: This option tell VideoReDo if and when you want it to prompt for metadata when
saving to a DVR-MS file.
Never: With this setting the prompt for metadata feature is disabled.
Always: Always prompt for metadata when saving to a dvr-ms file. If the source file is a dvr-ms file.
Non-DVRMS files: Only prompt if the source is something other than a DVR-MS file. This option is
intended to add metadata to files you are importing from an application other than media center, but want
to leave media center files alone.
Set Program Time To Edited Date and Time: When checked, the program time fields will be reset to
date and time of the output file. Specifically the "WM/WMRVEncodeTime" field in the output file will be set to
the current date and time.
Clear Database Associations (WMVRRequestID): Checked, this field will be set to -1. This should
