Video Paths
视频路径
The MCEBuddy application is comprised of a single window. The first step you’ll want to take is to define your Source and Destination paths. The “Source” will most likely be your Recorded TV directory. The Destination should NOT be the same as the Source folder.
MCEBuddy应用程序包含一个窗口。 您要采取的第一步是定义“源”和“目标”路径。 “源”很可能是您的录制电视目录。 目标不应与源文件夹相同。
Note: The Recorded TV directory in Windows 7 Media Center will only display and play WTV & DVR-MS files. To watch the converted MP4, AVI, WMV, or MPEG files in Windows Media Center you’ll need to add them to your Video Library or Movie Library.
注意：Windows 7 Media Center中的“录制的电视”目录将仅显示和播放WTV和DVR-MS文件。 要在Windows Media Center中观看转换后的MP4，AVI，WMV或MPEG文件，您需要将它们添加到视频库或电影库中。
Video Conversion
视频转换
Next, choose your preferred format for conversion from the “Convert to” drop down list. The default is MP4 with the H.264 codec. You’ll find a wide variety of formats. The first set of conversion options in the drop down list will resize the video to 720 pixels wide. The next two sections maintain the original size, and the final section is for a variety of portable devices.
接下来，从“转换为”下拉列表中选择转换的首选格式。 默认值为带有H.264编解码器的MP4。 您会发现各种各样的格式。 下拉列表中的第一组转换选项会将视频的大小调整为720像素宽。 接下来的两个部分保持原始大小，最后一个部分适用于各种便携式设备。
Next, you’ll see a group of check boxes below the “Convert to” drop down list. The Commercial Skipping option will cut the commercials while converting the file. Sort By Series will create a sub-folder in your Destination folder for each TV show. Delete Original will delete the WTV file after conversion is complete. (This option is not recommended unless you are sure your files are converting properly and you no longer need the WTV file.) Start Minimized is ideal if you want to run MCEBuddy on Windows startup.
接下来，您将在“转换为”下拉列表下方看到一组复选框。 商业跳过选项将在转换文件时剪切商业广告。 按系列排序将在每个电视节目的“目标”文件夹中创建一个子文件夹。 删除原始文件将在转换完成后删除WTV文件。 (不建议使用此选项，除非您确定文件可以正确转换并且不再需要WTV文件。)如果要在Windows启动时运行MCEBuddy，“ 最小启动”是理想的选择。
Note: MCEBuddy installs and uses Comskip for commercial cutting by default. However, if you have ShowAnalyzer installed, it will use that application instead.
注意：默认情况下，MCEBuddy安装并使用Comskip进行商业切割。 但是，如果安装了ShowAnalyzer，它将使用该应用程序。
Advanced Options
高级选项
To choose a specific time of day to perform the conversions, click the checkbox under the “Advanced Options,” and select the starting and ending times for conversion. For example, convert between 2 hours and 5 hours would be between 2 am and 5am. If you want MCEBuddy to constantly look for and immediately convert new recordings, leave the box unchecked.
要选择一天中的特定时间执行转换，请单击“高级选项”下的复选框，然后选择转换的开始和结束时间。 例如，在2小时和5小时之间转换将在2 am和5am之间。 如果您希望MCEBuddy不断寻找并立即转换新的录音，请不要选中此框。
The “Video age” option lets you choose a specific number of days to wait before performing the conversion. This can be useful if you want to watch the recordings first and delete those you don’t wish to convert. You can also choose the “Sub Directories” if you’d like MCEBuddy to convert files that are in a sub-folder in your “Source” directory.
“视频年龄”选项可让您选择要执行转换的特定天数。 如果您想先观看录音并删除不想转换的录音，这将很有用。 如果您希望MCEBuddy转换“源”目录中子文件夹中的文件，则也可以选择“子目录”。
Second Conversion
二次转换
As you might expect, this option allows MCEBuddy to perform a second conversion of your file. This can be useful if you want to use your first conversion to create a higher quality MP4 or AVI file for playback on a larger screen, and a second one for a portable device such as Zune or iPhone. The same options from the first conversion are also available for the second. You’ll want to choose a separate Destination folder for the second conversion.
如您所料，此选项允许MCEBuddy执行文件的第二次转换。 如果要使用第一次转换来创建更高质量的MP4或AVI文件以在更大的屏幕上播放，然后使用第二个转换来用于便携式设备(例如Zune或iPhone)，则此功能很有用。 第一次转换中的相同选项也可用于第二次转换。 您需要为第二次转换选择一个单独的“目标”文件夹。
Start and Monitor Progress
启动并监控进度
To start converting your video files, simply press the “Start” button at the bottom.
要开始转换视频文件，只需按底部的“开始”按钮。
You’ll be able to follow the progress in the “Current Activity” section.
您将可以在“当前活动”部分中关注进度。
When all the video files have finished converting, or there are no current files to convert, MCEBuddy will display a “Started – Idle” status. Click “Stop” if you don’t want MCEBuddy to continue scanning for new files.
当所有视频文件都已完成转换，或者没有当前文件要转换时，MCEBuddy将显示“已开始-空闲”状态。 如果您不希望MCEBuddy继续扫描新文件，请单击“停止”。
Conclusion
结论
MCEBuddy 2x will convert all WTV files in it’s source folder. If you want to pick and choose which recordings to convert, you may want to define a source folder different than the Recorded TV folder and then just copy or move the files you wish to convert into the new source folder. The conversion process does take a good bit of time. If you choose the commercial skipping and second conversion options it can take several hours to fully convert one TV recording.
MCEBuddy 2x将转换其源文件夹中的所有WTV文件。 如果要选择要转换的录像，则可能需要定义与“录制的电视”文件夹不同的源文件夹，然后将要转换的文件复制或移动到新的源文件夹中。 转换过程确实需要花费大量时间。 如果您选择了商业跳过和第二种转换选项，则可能需要几个小时才能完全转换一份电视录像。
Overall, MCEBuddy makes a nice Media Center addition for those that want to save some space with smaller size files, convert Recorded TV files for their portable device, or automatically remove commercials.
