What's with the .Vprj files?

My recording directory is filling up with small files named (series/episode tite/date).Vprj. Some of these files go back to when I first set this thing up. Do these files have any importance? I sure would like to clean this up, perhaps on a schedule using a batch file. At what point can I delete them? Are they used during the recording process, the compressing process, etc?

Re: What's with the .Vprj files?

If I remember correctly those are not from BTV but they are created from VideoRedo, do you use VideoRedo for anything? They will keep building up since BTV knows nothing about them.

Re: What's with the .Vprj files?

If you are using comskip and/or comskip monitor, you can get it to generate vprj files so that VRD can load them for commercial editing. It can also generate BTV xml files that BTV recognizes. For some reason, VRD doesn't load the BTV xml files generated by comskip like it does the xml files generated by BTV smartskip. So if you want to get VRD to load the skip file you have to get comskip to generate both vprj and BTV xml. At least for me. FWIW, I have comskip running in a Sage installation and I get it to generate edl (Sage's smartskip file), a text file, vprj and BTV xml files. That way I can watch Sage recordings in BTV and smartskip is available. Or I can edit out commercials with VRD using the vprj file. You can configure comskip to cleanup after itself (delete all these files when the mpeg2 recording is deleted) but when I do this it keeps deleting the BTV xml right after it is created I don't know why, but for a workaround, I just manually delete them once in a while (they are only a few kBs)

Great explanation. I'll use scheduler to run a delete commmand. I just didn't know if I would mess anything up by deleting them when something was running. It looks like I'm safe. Thanks.
