First, whoever is responsible for either the stv or the ffmpeg_pickup, YOU ROCK!
I have an Archos gmini 400 and have been looking for a way to automatically reencode TV recordings to DIVX.
This solution works very well. The only problem was that I could not get ffmpeg to create an avi that worked right with the archos. Audio Sync issues. However, I replaced the Exe line of the Properties.XML with this
<Value>VirtualDub /sarchos1.vcf /p@INPUT,@OUTPUT /r /x</Value>
<Enabled>True</Enabled>
and it works great!
The options are /s which loads a configuration file, /p creates a job list, /r runs the job and /x closes VirtualDub
Definitely not rocket science but thought I would share my experience.
