My workflow is simple, basic and largely manual and I prefer to keep it that way! So, WMC saves to "Recorded TV", I edit the files there using VRD with minimal re-coding, the metadata is transferred automatically within VRD6 and I move the edited files into my library.

I have my own library structure for edited recordings and do not allow WMC to attempt to index that. This is messy and I would like to end up with a single container for each archive recording as WMC achieves with. I'm uncertain if the latter does? Both output video and audio in a. The former appears to offer the option of searching for programs by genre as one can in WMC. Two possibilities seem to be MediaPortal and NextPVR. Since I also use it for emails and web browsing I probably should look at buying a new Win10 laptop for the latter, or find a replacement for WMC which will be supported on W10.
