How to Edit Windows Media Center TV Recordings (.dvr-ms) in XP

January 9th, 2009  |  Published in technology  |  1 Comment




I needed to edit a recording I made from a TV show with the Windows Media Center, and I assumed at first that the files would be .avi or .wmv or something I was used to. It turns out that they were .DVR-MS format, which is a proprietary MS format that can not be easily edited without installing third-party apps. 

I did come across an easy registry edit that allows you to edit .dvr-ms files in xp through windows movie maker.

Thanks for Chris Lanier’s Blog for pointing me in this direction and for providing the registry changes.  

Open Notepad and paste the following in it.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Save the file with a .reg extension (example: MM2.reg) and then double click on it to merge it with your existing registry.

    One of the most popular apps for editing WMC recordings is Video Redo. I use it to remove ads from movies that I’ve recorded and convert the output to .mpg. Then I use Windows DVD Maker to add a menu, scene selection page, and burn it to DVD.

    I’m using Windows 7 RC1 now, and it appears that it uses a new extension – *.wtv (Windows TV). I haven’t done any further investigation into seeing if anything has changed besides the extension, all I’m interested in doing at this point is finding a program that can play recorded TV files on my XP Pro laptop.
