If you’ve not used DVR 2 WMV before it is an application which allows you to covert Recorded TV files from the DVR-MS wrapped MPEG2 format created by Media Center into Windows Media 9, potentially saving a great deal of space per recording and allowing the files to be editing with applications supporting WMV9. The final version of DVR 2 WMV 1.0 contains a command line version, desktop version and an interface suitable for interaction through Media Center. This version seems to be a great improvement over the last one I tried (RC3.5), the conversion time seems less and on a 3 min 45 second DVB-T clip on the default settings I’m seeing around a 50% size reduction with fairly similar end quality.
