| Post subject: | Speed problem when playing recordings on another computer |
I upgraded my Myth box a while back from...um, I think it was R5A22, to the latest KnoppMyth. During the upgrade, something changed--I don't know whether it was something the upgrade did automatically, or something I changed in the settings--so that in my /myth/tv directory, the file names are different. The files from before the upgrade have the extension .nuv, while the ones after the upgrade have the extension .mpg. So here's the problem. I like to pull TV shows off of my Myth box onto my laptop, to watch when I'm on the road. Watching .nuv files has never been a problem (using the latest version of VLC on Mac OS X, if it matters). But when I try to watch one of the new .mpg files, they run about 20% too fast, so everybody sounds like a chipmunk. Any suggestions? I poked around VLC's settings and couldn't find anything that seemed to help, but VLC has a whole lot o' settings and I could easily have missed something. |

Just replying to myself to note that it's not quite as simple as the files running 20% faster. I tried watching a whole episode, and sometimes the speed is almost normal, and sometimes it's way speeded up. This is very annoying. Any suggestions? |

Does VLC show any error messages in the log during playback when the problem occurrs? (view->messages to see them). I ran into problems when I moved from R5A30.2 to R5D1 with VLC playback of mpeg2 recordings captured with a Hauppauge PVR-250, but the symptoms I saw were a bit different -- more like stuttering. I posted a work-around for this in the thread: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... hlight=vlc It's the ~4th post in the thread. Marc |

Thanks muchly! I tried your other suggestions, about disabling closed captioning, and I'll see if it works after my next recording goes through. Meanwhile, your first suggestion was simply to use MPlayer instead of VLC, and that seems to work fine--I'm not seeing the speed problems in MPlayer. Thanks again! |
