/vdr-convert is a tool to accurately transcode VDR1.x and VDR2.x TV
recordings, including all valid streams - video, audio (including
AC3/DTS 5.1), Audio Description (AD), and DVB subtitles - into more
compressed and accessible formats, while maintaining perceived quality
with good compatibility. /

The new Podcast mode provides highly compressed and fully
metadata-tagged audio (i.e. radio recording) files suitable for portable
players, using up-to-date codec options for more flexibility, better
quality and compression than typical broadcaster MP3 downloads. 
An optional post-processing command has been added to trigger
re-indexing by a media server such as a Squeezeserver.

Changelog:

  * Added --podcast option: podcasts stored in subdirectories, by Title
    (like VDR itself)
  * Podcast audio codec config: Can use (HE)AAC, Opus or MP3
  * Extensive embedding of metadata in output files (mainly for podcasts)
  * Added -g option for genre files to define mapping of VDR's G tag to text
  * Significant H265 setting updates to reflect recent improvements
  * Slight H264 compression increase to reflect recent improvements
  * More extensive checking of ffmpeg build options (codec library checks)
  * Detect short initial recording files & delete (VPS aborted start)
  * Various other fixes and improvements, incl. for FTP/redo modes
  * Fixes for recent ffmpeg versions (3.3+)

Enjoy!

Richard
