MCEBuddy was developed to support users of Windows Media Center. It can automatically process recordings from over the air or cable television broadcasts.

It also works really well with the Plex DVR given that the files it creates are largely identical to what Windows Media Center puts together. But unlike Windows Media Center Plex can replace the recorded file with the compressed version without commercials.

In this video I demonstrate how using you can have MCEBuddy take out commercials, reduce your recorded file sizes, and swap out the original recorded file with the new smaller one using mostly default settings.
