MCEBuddy takes your LARGE Windows Media Center television
recording (and other video) files
and makes them small saving you disk space. It also removes commercials
and converts your recordings into formats that are usable on
other systems and handheld devices. It does all of this automatically
with a minimum of fuss and little or no technical knowledge required.
MCEBuddy is an automated service for Windows Media Center XP, Vista
and now Vista 64 that converts the Media Center native video format (DVR-MS) to
a user-configurable file format (WMV, DivX or H.264).
MCEBuddy is freeware, spyware free
Prerequisite: .Net framework 2.0.
Install using Windows Update or download from this location: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=9832.
(Optional) Updated Commercial Removal: The standard MCEBuddy
1.0.8 commercial removal is cautious. There is an updated set of commercial
removal profiles for both Comskip and ShowAnalyzer based commercial
removal. You can download and install them from
here. These profiles are more aggresive
at finding ads than the standard ones. Make sure you do not have "Delete Originals"
selected until you are happy with them.
Installation:
- Uninstall any existing version of MCEBuddy
- Download and extract the MCEBuddy.zip file to a location and
install using SETUP.EXE.
- Start the taskbar monitor (Start/All Programs/Tyrell/MCEBuddy/MCE
Buddy Taskbar Monitor).
- Read the
Configuration Guide and set up MCEBuddy as necessary.
- Start the service.
Debugging/Troubleshooting
If you have problems using MCEBuddy, first check
the MCEBuddy
FAQ and the Windows event log, where most MCEBuddy problems are logged. For
