Hi people
I have ben recording a load of kid's TV shows from CHannel 5 HD in the UK via my HDHomerun. Due to an ongoing issue with the Amazon Fire 4k stick it can't play these videos back (the same problem is in the HDHomerun app, Plex and Emby - it's been an issue with some UK HD broadcasts for a while and not yet fixed in a firmware upgrade).
Anyhoo, now that I have these recordings I have been using Avidemux to just top and tail them (to take out the ads) and save as mp4, but I'd like to convert them all to a video format that will work with the 4k stick - my Android TV and Shield TV in other rooms play them all with no problems, but we have one TV that has the Stick and that's the one my daughter watches most.
The issue is, I can't seem to find what the bitrates of the originals are things like VLC, Mediainfo, etc just show it like this;
![]()
![]()
Basically, I want to keep them in as close to the original capture quality, but to play on all devices. Also, it would be handy to be able to drop a load in together for a batch conversion (I have a few hundred to do!)
Thanks!
