NEW FEATURES:
1. Added support for TiVO fast transfer (TS) files decoding through directshow streams extraction (needs TiVO Desktop installed AND INSTALL 32Bit MCEBuddy, 64Bit MCEBuddy WILL NOT WORK with TiVO Desktop since TiVO Desktop is 32bit. Also, ensure MCEBuddy is running as a Command Line Engine, TiVO Directshow will not work with the engine running as a Service due to Windows limitations.)
2. Added support for power management in the MCEBuddy commandline engine app
3. Added support for H264 and AAC audio in WTV files (now WTV Unprocessed profiles support H264 and WTV profile now has H264 video by default)
4. Option under Conversion Task -> Advanced Settings ->Expert Settings to Skip remuxing. DO NOT USE UNLESS ABSOLUTELY SURE.
5. Added support for PreCommercialRemovalCustomCommand (custom command run just before commercial removal. Refer to https://mcebuddy2x.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Conversion%20Process for details on when the custom commands are run)
6. Added support for Unicode filenames (DO NOT REPLACE the default MCEBuddy.conf, Profiles.conf, History and ManualQueue files since these are NEW files with UTF-16 LE Unicode encoding, the old files were NOT UTF files and will mess things up). For those who want to use use Unicode files, DELETE your History and ManualQueue files from the config directory (the old files are NOT compatible)
7. Added a command line program to remux TiVO files to TS using TiVO Desktop DirectShow filters (for Fast Transfers). Program name is MCEBuddy.RemuxTiVOStreams and the Usage: RemuxTiVOStreams <TiVOFile> <TempPath> <MAK> <AudioLanguage>
