Recording recovery after power outage

Video recovery after power outage Unlike other recording methods, the WMV recording (RecordingMethod = rm_ASF) is a safe recording method to avoid loosing the video being recorded if a power failure occurs.

After a power failure, the ASF video clip can be played but is not seekable, because the index (that is generated when the recording ends) has not been created.

However it is possible to instant-reindex the video clip with the reencoding features as follows:

VideoGrabber.Reencoding_SourceVideoClip = the file name of the clip to reeindex VideoGrabber.Reencoding_NewVideoClip = "ASFINDEX" VideoGrabber.StartReencoding()

Note that there is no problem to reindex a clip already reindexed.
