Convert from MKV to WTV

#1

Post by deihmos » Sun Mar 23, 2014 2:36 pm

I am thinking about converting all my movies and tv shows to wtv for better compatibility with WMC. Does anyone know about an automated method of getting this done and how can I solve the problem of subtitles? I was trying to use dvrmstoolbox but I am unable to locate a guide. The software is a bit complicated.

I made a Profile in DVRMSToolbox with these commands in it and called it Convert to WTV.

Throttle DVRMStoMPEG
Run todvrm.exe "%inputFile%" "%OutputFile%" -v -wtv

Then I run DVRMStoMPEGGUI and select the mkv file and specify the output file name with .wtv instead of .mkv, select the Convert to WTV profile I created. This will create the wtv file you want. If you want to process a directory of mkv file you can use the Process Directory tab to perform this.

I would like to set up a watch folder and automate this, but have not spent the time to research it.

Hope this gets you started.

I think I have all of that already but I don't want to manually do it. Another problem is the videos that contain DTS.
