Nope, as the earlier poster said - my TV recordings are ephemeral, filled with<br>
adverts which can't be auto detected (Australia) and massive amounts of<br>
pre/post padding (again Australia). I watch them once and delete, if I delete<br>
at all. There are thousands of them which will get aut deleted if I don't get<br>
round to watching them.<br>
<br>
OTOH, my videos are hand picked high quality, either ripped from my DVD's or<br>
brought and kept because I love them and watched over and over - not once offs<br>
(or zero offs) at all. Completely different from the mostly pop (but fun)<br>
dreck on TV. In no way do I want them merged together.<br>

Which I first thought: great, this is how it should be done... After using it for a little while I found that I treat the content differently. My recordings are ephemeral, I know 100% that I will not keep them. If there's a recording I like, I will source a video from a DVD.
