Movies archive with DVR-Studio HD 3

If you want to store recorded movies permanently, you can either burn it onto a disc and put it on the shelf, or it saves of the recording itself only a video file. These files can be conveniently stored on a network hard disk (NAS) and retrieved at any time. All TVs with built-in network sockets or WLAN function can access such data storage.


Both burning and converting to a readable video format can be done with the latest version of DVR-Studio HD 3 with just a few clicks (price: 85 Euro). The software is capable of importing more than 1,000 feeders via add-on modules - mostly set-top boxes (see www.haenlein-software.de). If you do not care about HD recordings, you can also choose one of the older versions in standard resolution for 45 euros.


The import with DVR-Studio HD 3 starts with the import of the video files. For this purpose, the user can create a list of his used hardware under Settings which is suitable for the export of the video data. The software also allows you to process videos already stored on the hard disk. The only prerequisite is that it must be unencrypted transport streams from the sender.


In the preview window, the film fan can now put as many cut marks as necessary to erase excess parts such as advertising. By means of an automatic, the software can also find the advertising blocks by request, by analyzing the soundtrack. Usually, advertising is not sent in Dolby Digital, making it easier to identify. The software will also find and possibly repair any existing errors in the transport stream (block artefacts)

In the next step, the user can edit the metadata of the recording (such as EPG info and genre). This information is important for playback on the recording device as well as for informative DVD and Blu-ray menus. In another sub-menu, the film freak creates its own disc menu. Colored backgrounds, pictures and music are set quickly.


Finally, the actual export or firing follows a blank. From short HD sequences, DVR Studio creates an AVCHD DVD - otherwise, the streams are stored on Blu-rays. If you need video data, you have the choice between the original device format, M2TS, TS, MPEG or MP4, depending on the source material. Alternatively, for example, a music fan can demultiplex his concert recording, and video and audio streams can be processed separately.
